Exeter Round Table teamed up with campaigner Danny McCarthy to sponsor a dinner for homeless people in Exeter.
Danny is a tireless supporter of the homeless in Exeter and helps with other projects, including the soup kitchen on a Wednesday evening.
For a number of years, Exeter Round Table have sponsored a Christmas dinner at the Duke of York pub which Danny has arranged.
This year a second dinner was arranged during the summer, which took place on Bank Holiday Monday in St Thomas.
Richard Kaye, from Exeter Round Table, said: "It was a busy occasion but we provided over 70 hot meals for homeless people in Exeter.
"Working with people like Danny to support the community is part of our aims and objectives and we are really pleased the evening was a success."
The Round Table is a group of men who give up their time to help the community, and have fun doing so with activities during the year. Anyone interesting in joining can find out more at www.exeter.roundtable.co.uk.
Fundraising to sponsor events like the dinner comes from occasions such as the annual fireworks event at Westpoint on November 5. Exeter Round Table is currently planning this year's event to raise more money for local charities and projects.
Anyone wishing to support the Christmas banquet directly can call Danny on 01392 495618 or 07598 323330.
