STUDENT leaders demanded a “real response” to poverty today after they set up a foodbank at their university for those who are too poor to afford to eat.

Leeds Beckett University’s students’ union launched the Give Or Take foodbank after it found itself inundated with appeals from distressed and impoverished students.

Manned entirely by volunteers, the foodbank also serves hot, healthy meals to anyone who is in need of them.
