UK Calender Girls Supporting Men’s Health for a Decade!

This year marks 10 years since UKCG has been raising money and supporting The Chestnut Appeal for Men’s Health, a charity focused on help, support and diagnosis of Testicular and Prostate Cancer, founded at the turn of the century.

It started with UK Calendar Men, with a big launch ten years ago in Plymouth, since then Myles Lockwood and his team have moved further afield around the UK to hold annual calendar castings this time for the Girls. The modelling competition then expanded to Bournemouth in 2015 and then Bristol in 2016 before rebranding to UK Calendar Girls in 2018. The work they do for charities surrounding the calendar is phenomenal, with support also going to different Mental Health Awareness organisations and charities. Over £15,000 has been raised to help the cause for the Chestnut Appeal and this has meant UKCG has helped the charity reach more men than ever before, not just with donations but with awareness of the charity now spreading all around the country since the UK Calendar Girls have been on board. These donations have contributed to some state-of-the-art equipment, including an MRi Fusion Scanner and robotic surgery.

Lesley-Ann from The Chestnut Appeal commented on this amazing partnership, “Raising awareness and encouraging men to get checked when they feel like something could be wrong, is at the heart of everything we do, early diagnosis really can save lives and working with UKCG has really helped us get that message across. We are over the moon with what UKCG have done for us over the years.”

“The charity celebrates its 25th anniversary next year” said LesleyAnn, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Myles and his team at UKCG”.
