RYANAIR CREW CALENDAR TO RAISE MONEY FOR KIDS

By Nick Jones.

Cheap airline Ryanair has announced a new partnership with youth disability charity Kids.

The carrier's 2010 Cabin Crew Charity Calender will be sold in the hope of raising €110,000 (£99,000) for the organisation, which supports disabled children and their families.

The calendar was shot in Alicante in September and the airline hopes to sell 11,000 copies on its flights and through its website.

Kids chief executive Kevin Williams said: "We are delighted that Ryanair has this year chosen to support the much valued, practical support that Kids provides for disabled children and their families across the UK."

"It's great when a bit of fun can serve such a serious purpose," he added.

The sale of the new calendars will bring the total amount raised by Ryanair for charity to €300,000.

Kids was established in 1970 and supports 7,000 disabled children and their families each year.

Ryanair operates flights from a number of UK airports, including Doncaster Sheffield, Edinburgh, Manchester, Newcastle and Luton.
