The Sheffield Hospitals Charity and Prostate Cancer UK quids in after “fat lads’” antics

The Fat Lads Calendar 2018 features chunky fellas from around Rotherham and Yorkshire.

Masterminded by photographer Richard Gaynor, the tastefully-shot collection raised money for the Sheffield Hospitals Charity and Prostate Cancer UK.

Photographs recreated famous images like the Beatles crossing Abbey Road and a famous nude portrait of Kim Kardashian.

All 2,050 of the printed calendars printed were sold — and some generous folks donated cash without taking a calendar away.

The snapped lads and their supporters celebrated their success at the Cutler’s Arms pub, on Westgate, where they raised a glass and handed cheques to representatives from the charities.

Richard said: “Some may remember that back in November, a bunch of overweight blokes from South Yorkshire released an alternative calendar.

“We originally aimed to raise £10,000, so to get £25,000 is pretty incredible.”

He added: “I don’t have any current plans for a follow up this year.

“Maybe we will do one next year. I have a couple of ideas for a future one.”

The money raised was split equally between the two chosen charities.
