**Gloucestershire disability charity Paul’s Place has launched what it claims to
be be “the world’s first disabled nude calendar” to raise funds.**

The calendar has taken four years to come to fruition, helped by support from ITV,
which reported on the centre’s buy a brick campaign earlier this year. The TV company
helped find a professional photographer and donated one of its studios for the photo
shoot.

Twenty seven members, relatives, staff and volunteers agreed to take part. “We… 
never envisaged… the feeling of enlightenment the photo shoot would give our members
and how proud it would make them feel about themselves”, the charity reports.

The charity added: “although the calendar may prove to be controversial, we are 
proud of whom we are and want to show that we are all born equal and make other 
people learn to embrace our differences.”

The 2007 calendar is on sale for £17.00 (£15.00 + £2.00 p+p).
