From calendar girls to eye-catching aerial views.
There is something for everyone in a selection box of fundraising calendars produced by communities and organisations in Tayside and Fife for 2023.
And they are already heading off to ex-pats around the globe.
As well as raising vital cash for everything to playpark improvements to helping the local heroes of the RNLI.
Here is a collection of images from some of Courier country’s best offerings for 2023.
Comrie calendar girls
Comrie ladies have bared all to boost the Legion Park fund.
Community council chairwoman Gillian Brock said: “We did a male charity calendar last year which was Scott Bradley’s idea as he was my vice-chair on the Community Council.
“So this year I decided to do one with the ladies of Comrie.
“The money will go to the Legion Park and the support from 12 sponsors for the calendar went to Sepsis Scotland.”
It costs £10 and is available from the Handy Shop.
Kinghorn RNLI
Kinghorn RNLI crew member Donnie MacLean has proved himself a man of many talents with his array of images for the 2023 calendar.
It is the third year it has been produced to raise funds for the Fife station.
Donnie also raised £4,000 earlier this year with a daring charity swim.
He became the first person to tackle the swim from Kinghorn lifeboat station around Inchkeith Island and back, completing the seven-mile challenge in just under four hours.
His stunning calendar views include the station’s B-class Atlantic 85 lifeboat and scenes around the area’s coast.
Costing £20, the calendars are available by emailing kinghornlifeboatcalendars@gmail.com
