A GLASGOW foodbank has mysteriously closed its doors.
Greater Maryhill Foodbank (GMF) organisers announced on Friday that the facility was to shut due to "unforeseen circumstances".
Coordinator Julie Webster posted on Facebook: "Due to unforeseen Circumstances GMF will be closed until further notice.
"We will keep you updated as to when we plan to reopen.
"Anyone who requires Emergency Food Provision can Contact Glasgow City Council who should be able to provide a list of Foodbanks within Glasgow."
As the Evening Times revealed in November last year, the council said no further grant awards would be made to the the foodbank following a whistleblowing complaint and an investigation over alleged financial irregularities.
It followed repeated requests for information to founder Ms Webster about accounts which the council said had not been provided.
The investigation centres on £2,897 that Ms Webster was given for improvements, including a new security system.
Later in the month we told how schools in Glasgow were told not to support the foodbank by the council.
