Rachel Launches Picture Perfect Calendar for Friends of Rossmar Fundraiser

Following the tremendous success of her 2026 calendar, in aid of Dementia Concern Causeway, Rachel has chosen Friends of Rossmar as the beneficiary of her 2027 scenic photographic calendar.

Featuring a collection of beautiful local scenes captured through Rachel’s lens, the calendar is priced at £10 and is available to purchase from Antoinette’s Café, Café Steinbeck and The Yellow Bird Café.

The calendars are expected to prove popular once again, with supporters encouraged to get their copies early.

Explaining her choice of charity for this year’s fundraising initiative, Rachel said:

“I was very keen to continue supporting another local charity this year, and my chosen charity is Friends of Rossmar School, Limavady.

“It is a local charity group that raise funds to purchase equipment, learning tools and extra-curricular enhancements for the school’s pupils aged 3 to 19 with moderate, severe, or profound multiple learning difficulties.”

One change for the calendar this year is the inclusion of sponsorship from local businesses, who were keen to support Rachel’s charity fundraising initiative.

She explained further:

“This year I reached out to local businesses to help sponsor the printing cost of the calendars, and I was overwhelmed by the kind generosity shown by the sponsors.

“I would also like to say a big thank you to the following ladies who have very kindly agreed to sell my calendars again this year in their businesses in Limavady.

“Their generous charitable work in our local community helps to make such a difference in the lives of many.

“Thank you to Shirley Alcorn for selling them in Antoinette’s Café, Market Street, Julie Brolly at Café Steinbeck, Main Street, and Margaret-Ann Sexton at The Yellow Bird, Newtown Square.”

The calendars feature a stunning collection of photographs capturing the natural beauty and diverse landscapes of the Causeway Coast and Glens, including picturesque countryside and breathtaking scenic views.

Explaining her inspiration behind the selection of images, Rachel said she had carefully chosen a variety of scenes to appeal to all tastes, ensuring there was something for everyone:

“One of my biggest challenges in creating my calendars is deciding on what images to include, as people have very different tastes when it comes to photography.

“We live in such a beautiful part of the world and I hope that everyone enjoys the scenes in this year’s calendar, taken from various locations in the Causeway Coast and Glens area.”

She encouraged everyone interested to purchase their 2027 calendar early as last year’s stocks depleted rapidly due to high demand:

“There will be a limited amount of calendars printed, priced at £10, and all proceeds raised from the sales will go directly to the charity.

“I’m sorry that a few people were disappointed they missed out on getting my 2026 calendar and I hope this year everyone will be able to call into the venues in Limavady as soon as possible to get a calendar.

“Last year the calendars flew out the doors within 2 weeks, so I anticipate the same response again this year!”

“I would like to also take the opportunity to thank all those who very kindly purchased my 2026 charity calendar.

“The generous support from the local community never ceases to amaze me!

“I was thrilled to hear that my calendars ended up as Christmas gifts sent far and wide all over the world, as far away as Australia, Singapore, Costa Rica, and New York, a reminder of home for loved ones, and most importantly, a chance to support a worthy cause.

“Thank you to everyone who has contacted me this year about my 2027 calendar, your continued support means so much, and together we can help make a difference!”
