A Glasgow church has been targeted by vandals who removed its door by its screws before trashing spaces owned by community projects. 

Carnwadric Church, which houses the community projects the Rainbow Centre and the Carnwadric Win Project, was broken into on Saturday afternoon in "broad daylight". 

The break-in marks the second time the church was targeted during lockdown, but also the third incident in the span of a year. 

A few weeks back an attempted break-in which set off an alarm was diverted. 

However, in August 2019 a break-in caused thousands of pounds worth of damage.

Deaconess Mary Gargrave told the Glasgow Times: "It is quite shocking. 

"We have been the target of vandalism for some years now.

"I understand whoever did it simply took the door off its screws. They removed the screws from the double door which is quite secure. 

"They got in and trashed the office which one of our projects use and they broke down the door into the actual sanctuary."

Glasgow Times:

While no damage was caused within the sanctuary, the office was found completely trashed.

But the Deaconess told that community has been left "very upset" by the incident. 

She added: "We are a small congregation and it is their money goes towards all the bills.

"It is upsetting for people." 

But it is not just the congregation that will be disappointed to see the damage, she added: "it is serving the community so whoever is doing this is causing damage not only to the church but to the community and the services offered."

The WIN Project, which is based out of the church, provides essential services for families and groups for children.

Dawn Barrett, of the WIN Project, said it was "heartbreaking" to see the vandalism.

She said: "We are getting broken into and vandalised not to steal huge amounts of money but every time it happens it impacts everyone involved, the community, the staff and the people who use the centre.

"It really shakes people up." 

"It is really frustrating, every time it happens it shakes people's confidence for a wee while. Then it is also money and time spent having to repair things rather than spending time to support the community."

Dawn added: "It is just senseless, it is absolutely senseless. The church only does good things for the community."

While the damage was not as extensive as last year's incident, she added "we shouldn't feel like we are lucky because they didn't do as much damage as last time - they just shouldn't be doing it."

Police Scotland has been contacted for comment.
