Daring Waldrons solicitors have bared all to recreate the
well-known 'Calendar Girls' scene in a fundraising effort for St
Giles Walsall Hospice.
A group of eight solicitors from the Black Country legal firm
stripped off their wigs and gowns to enter the hospice's
competition to find the town's best 'calendar girls and
boys'.
Waldrons were crowned the winning group by Calendar Girl stage
actress Lynda Bellingham after beating a number of neighbouring
companies to the title, and helping to raise over £2,000.
The eight were presented with a signed copy of their winning
photograph as part of a special fund-raising 'evening with a
calendar girl', organised by the Walsall hospice.
Waldrons partner, Trudy Pratt says the team was delighted to
throw its support behind such a fantastic local cause.
She said: "I'm so proud of our winning photograph. It took a lot
of courage and trust to bare all but it was worth it to help raise
money for the services provided St Giles Walsall Hospice.
"Lynda Bellingham was brilliant and full of praise for our
efforts."
St Giles Walsall Hospice is the new name for Walsall Hospice
following its successful merger with St Giles Hospice earlier this
year. It provides high-quality specialist care for people with
cancer and other serious illnesses, as well as offering support for
their families and carers.
Cheryl Bradburne, head of fundraising from St Giles Walsall
Hospice, said: "We're so grateful to Waldrons and all our corporate
supporters who took time out to strip off in aid of our fundraising
challenge.
"They were all fantastic sports and Waldrons were certainly
worthy winners and fully deserved the title of best group."
