Calendar Boys 2010
Thanks to ‘regulars’ who use the Old Bell in Baker Street and some very generous local businesses, Enfield local charity Age Concern Enfield stands to raise £10,000 by these men baring all for charity in their unique production of ‘Calendar Boys;! Alongside them in their brave efforts is the Chief Executive of Age Concern Enfield!
The ‘mastermind’ behind this initiative, Sarah Mead has successfully raised sponsorship through her local business contacts to produce the calendar ensuring that 100% profit would be generated from the sale of the calendar- a really remarkable achievement!
Sarah said “I must have had luck on my side when I approached Peter Dyer Photographers in Enfield and told them about the calendar, they agreed to give up a Saturday morning to do the whole photo shoot at their studio and in return they would have their logo printed on the calendar. This was obviously an amazing offer so I got to work on this immediately. The calendars will be on sale from the middle of November and will cost £5.00 each and all the money will go to Age Concern Enfield.
Calendar Boys hopes to replicate the fundraising success of previous ‘bare all’ calendars for charity, to show ageing in a positive and fun light and to promote the activities and services offered by Age Concern Enfield to the local 50+ population.
Tony Seagroatt, Chief Executive of Age Concern Enfield said “This really is a first for Age Concern Enfield in terms of a fundraising effort. Sarah has done a fantastic job in putting this together and I’d like to personally thank Sarah and all the men for agreeing to do this as well as the businesses who have sponsored this production. Age Concern Enfield has had to face some significant financial challenges this year but if the calendar proves to be a success then all the funds raised from this will help towards easing some of these pressures”.
