Make a date with these brave Redditch ladies as they dare to bare all

Redditch Editorial 4th Dec, 2017   0

A GROUP of big-hearted Redditch ladies will be baring all next week as they unveil a saucy calendar with a difference.

The Tarts for Hearts calendar -which features 15 Redditch women aged 17 to 49 – is the brainchild of Debbie Wickett from Matchborough to raise money for Redditch charity, Craig and Charlotte Saving Hearts Foundation (CCSHF).

“I had seen other people raise money for good causes in the same way – and I like being in front of the camera – so I thought ‘Why not?'” she said.

“I put out a call to people who follow CCSHF to see if there were any other women who wanted to get behind the project, and found some fantastic women willing to give it a whirl.”




Between them, the ‘calendar girls’ have 24 children, and 11 grandchildren – and with photographer Paul Cotterill of Fiftymm Photography on board, the calendar has taken around four weeks of hard work from start to finish.

Each limited edition calendar costs £10 and as two anonymous donors and Pol Market Redditch have provided the funding for the project, every penny from sales can go to the CCSHF.


They will be available from Tuesday, December 5, once they have been unveiled at Minuteman Printers on Prospect Hill.

“Supporting a worthy local cause is very important to me,” added Debbie.

“But it wasn’t just about that. We are a group of real women who dared to bare more than we normally would for charity.

“Some were nervous, some were unsure and some nearly backed out – but they didn’t and I am so proud of each and every one of them.

“Because of their bravery and newly found self confidence, they will inspire and empower women as well as support an amazing cause – and that’s absolutely priceless.”
