A group of ten mums have donned 1950s-style costumes to pose in a charity calendar to raise funds for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n

The Warrington Guardian reports the host of women decided to generate cash for the forces' organisation – which provides help and support for injured troops – after meeting while taking their children to St Elphin's CE Primary School.<\/p>\n

After discussing their fundraising plans over a glass of wine, the mums decided to rope in a Manchester-based fancy dress company to supply vintage clothes for the shoot, which was intended to mirror the look of 1950s sweethearts waiting for their soldier boyfriends to return home.<\/p>\n

Andrea Holland explained: "It's brought out a different side to us that we did not know was there."<\/p>\n

In addition to the £10 calendars going on sale, the mums have also held a jitterbug ball and vintage tea party to continue the 1950s feel of their fundraising.<\/p>\n

A cheeky calendar featuring everyday girls from the north-east of England was recently produced to raise proceeds for Help for Heroes, the Northern Echo reported.
