A CASH boost has helped a struggling diner in North Glasgow. 

The Wyndford Diner, in the community hub in Maryhill, was left devastated after vandals set fire to a separate part of the building which damaged the electrics. 

The café was forced to close for several weeks as a result and lost five freezers worth of stock due to the lack of electricity.

Wheatley Homes Glasgow and Safedem - the contractor preparing four outdated and unpopular tower blocks for demolition at Wyndford as part of Wheatley’s £100 million regeneration plans – stepped up with a donation of £600 to help with food supplies.

Café manager Nikki Campbell says she hopes the diner will be back open full-time in the next few days.

Nikki said: "We have a great relationship with the community and our partners, including Wheatley Homes Glasgow.

"The donation has been a real lifeline to the café and the community. It means we can continue to provide hot meals at an affordable price for vulnerable people."

Tracey Sinclair, Safedem’s community liaison manager, added: "Nikki makes a fine cup of tea and we were delighted to help get the café back on its feet."
