A fundraising sale organised by a Glasgow-based Ukrainian baker to help those caught up in the conflict in his homeland has raised at least £25,000. Hundreds of people queued around the block to buy cakes, buns and other baked treats from the Deanston Bakery in the Shawlands area of the city on Sunday (March 6).
Yuriy Kachak organised the initiative after feeling "helpless" when news of the Russian invasion unfolded, and so he decided to use his skills to do what he could to help people affected. Some customers queued for more than two hours on Sunday to buy treats including cinnamon buns from a selection of goods baked by Mr Kachak and his team, alongside home-bakes donated by locals.
Raffle tickets with prizes donated by local businesses were also on sale, and there was live music to entertain people as they waited. All proceeds raised on the day will go to help those affected by the war in Ukraine.
