CHADDESDEN WI STRIPS BACK THE COVERS FOR CHARITY WITH CHEEKY CALENDAR GIRLS LAUNCH CHADDESDEN, DERBY – Move over jam and Jerusalem! The ladies of the local Women’s Institute are swapping their knitting needles for strategically placed teapots as they launch a cheeky 2027 calendar inspired by the hit film Calendar Girls.The brave local members have stepped in front of the camera to prove there is definitely more than meets the eye at the modern WI. The project aims to empower local women while raising vital funds for two incredible causes: the Air Ambulance and Treetops Hospice. Every single penny from the calendar sales will be split evenly between the two charities.The official calendar launch event will take place on Tuesday, 27th October at the Age UK Centre in Chaddesden. Members of the public are invited to attend, meet the stars of the calendar, and purchase their copies ahead of the New Year."We wanted to do something bold, empowering, and fun that brings the community together," said a WI spokesperson. "It’s probably the most scandalous thing to happen here since someone used store-bought scones for the summer fete, but it is all for two vital causes that save and change lives in our area every single day."Members of the press and public are warmly invited to attend the launch to show their support for these fantastic local ladies.
