GENEROUS diners helped raise £1,002 for the Bangladesh Cyclone Appeal when they attended a charity meal at the Balti Stan Indian restaurant on Whalley Road, Clayton-le-Moors.

Around 40 people turned up for the evening which included a buffet meal as well as a raffle.

Members of the Bangladesh Welfare Association, including association president Mohammed Rahman, are pictured with guests, Sala Uddin and restaurant owner Haroun Miah, who said: "It was a very good night and despite the poor weather people still came along and gave generously."
