SIXTEEN-year-old Macaulay Sandford, from Okehampton, recently organised a successful curry evening to raise funds for Exeter's Neonatal Unit.

Some 70 guests attended the event, which was held at the Okement Centre, feasting on an meal which included curry, dessert and cheese and biscuits, the latter two being donated by local businesses. This was followed by a disco and karaoke.

Macaulay had contacted many local business and as a result an impressive raffle was held on the evening.

A total of £824 was presented to Exeter's Neonatal Unit. The evening itself raised £412 and the Co-op in Okehampton had offered to double any amount that Macaulay raised over £400.
