Eleven men and three women from a cross-section of mine workers have laid it all our there in the name of charity. Boulby in the Buff calendar, which is set to go on sale aims to raise funds for the Great North Air Ambulance Service.
Following in the tradition of the Women’s Institute, which back in 1999, bared all for the camera in order to raise money for charity after one of their members husbands died of cancer. The calendar went on to sell 88,000 copies in the UK alone and was turned into a popular British film and stage show Calendar Girls. The filmed starred the likes of Helen Mirren and Julie Walters.
The Boulby calendar inspired by their efforts are baring all with the aim of raising £4,000 for the worthy cause. As of today, they have raised 14% of their target with £594 raise so far.
Money raised will help the doctor-led critical care teams that deliver vital treatment at the scene of an incident whether up high in the hills, by the roadside of in city centres around the North East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria.
The charity responded to 1,640 call outs last year alone and provide a service which could mean the difference between life or death.
