Foodbank told to find a new venue or face closure

A foodbank that helps thousands of people in Birmingham is being forced to relocate.

Bethany Foodbank in Erdington has until the end of February to find a new venue, or it will have to close.

The centre offers help with jobs and housing as well as food.

Some of the people who use it told us they will be forced to beg and steal if the foodbank shuts.

The company that owns the land, SevenCapital, has offered to cover the costs of the move.
