Women’s Rugby Charity Calendar ’26
Stripped Back for a Cause
Bold, Brilliant and Body Positive
Women’s rugby teams from across the West Midlands have come together to create a charity calendar that celebrates strength, confidence and community in every form. Stripped back and proudly themselves, the players are donating 100% of the funds raised to Breast Cancer Research, supporting vital work while also shining a light on real athletes and real bodies.
Body Positivity & Inclusivity
This bold and body positive project shows that rugby, and sport as a whole, is for everyone. Regardless of shape, size or background.
The calendar features members of various teams across the region, proudly and tastefully photographed to showcase confidence, camaraderie, and inclusivity both on and off the pitch.
Raising Funds for Breast Cancer Now
All profits raised from calendar sales will go directly to the Breast Cancer Now, supporting vital research into prevention, diagnosis, care and treatment. Breast cancer affects women from all walks of life, making it a cause that resonates with the project’s celebration of strength, resilience, and community. Breast Cancer Now pledges to make sure that by 2050 everyone diagnosed with breast cancer lives, and is supported to live well.
By contributing to this important work, the calendar not only showcases body confidence and empowerment but also helps make a real difference in the lives of women everywhere.
