A GROUP of former pupils from Hipperholme Grammar School have organised a reunion with a difference and recreated memories of their schooldays for a charity calender.

Anna Lancashire came up with the plan as they returned to the school in Bramley Lane 25 years after leaving. The calendar, called Fab at Forty, will raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

It is a cause close to Anna’s heart after her partner was diagnosed with cancer in July of this year and has undergone chemotherapy treatment.

“I got thinking about different ways to fundraise and I wanted something focused and positive whilst everything around me was feeling a bit out of my control,” said Anna, who attended Hipperholme Grammar School between 1990 and 1995.

“I put my thoughts out there on social media and it got a bit of interest from school friends, so we started taking it a bit more seriously whilst remembering some amazing memories during our time at Hipperholme Grammar School.

“Some of my friends were a bit cautious at the thought of doing a charity calendar but throughout I wanted to ensure everyone was comfortable and it was fun rather than daunting.”

A total of 100 of the 2019 calendars have been printed and cost a minimum of £5 to buy. Visit justgiving.com/fundraising/anna-lancashire3 to find out more.
