**mymission2 launches “Beat The Credit Crunch 2009 Calendar” in aid of Shelter, 
the housing and homelessness charity.**

While homelessness is growing in the UK, corporate and individual donations to Shelter
are decreasing as people feel the squeeze of the credit crunch. mymission2 is offering
a helping hand to the struggling charity with the launch of their “Beat The Credit
Crunch 2009 Calendar”. £1 from every calendar purchased in the UK will be donated
to Shelter.

To celebrate reaching 100,000 members last week, mymission2 also pledged to donate
a further £50,000 to Shelter when they sell 50,000 calendars, making a total donation
of £100,000.

The calendar highlights the fact that you can look fabulous even when you are on
a budget and help charity at the same time. We all need to tighten our belts in 
the current economic climate and looking chic on the cheap is a good way to start.
The models featured in the calendar are ordinary people who are keen to offer advice–
serious or otherwise – on how to cope, have fun and look great on little or no cash.
Professional stylists dressed the models from top-to-toe using clothing and accessories
from charity and vintage shops such as Traid, Oxfam, Rokit and Paper Dress Vintage.

The calendar is a fantastic and unique gift and can be purchased online at:

You can view a short “behind the scenes” documentary about the making of the calendar,
which includes interviews with the stylists and models at:
