A FOODBANK has moved into a bigger home to cope with the demand for help from people living in poverty.

North Cotswold Foodbank has moved to a 1,000ft secure store in Guiting Power, which has been provided by charity Guiting Amenity Trust.

Stock had been overflowing at the Foodbank's old base in Naunton Chapel, as donations poured in to help the charity.

Manager James Milton said: "We were having to store most of our stock on the pews in the chapel. This new store has enough room for us to efficiently handle whatever is thrown at us in the future."
