PICS: UCD students get naked for charity calendar

For a great cause

Conor Heneghan

Those women (and men) are in the nip!

At this time of year, it’s important to wrap up in as many layers as possible to keep the cold away, but several UCD students have instead decided to bare all as part of a calendar to raise money for charity.

UCD Students’ Union have recruited 530 students to help out in their pledge to raise €100,000 for Youth Suicide Prevention Ireland (YSPI) and have planned a number of initiatives as part of a massive fundraising campaign, including a mass skydive and most recently, a naked calendar.

They’ve raised over €10,000 so far and hope to raise a further €30,000 by selling 3,000 naked calendars for €10 through campaign participants and on campus shops.

All proceeds will assist YSPI reduce levels of youth suicide in Ireland through a classroom based programme, The Four Steps to Help, provided free of charge to secondary schools around the country.

Check out the snaps from the calendar in the below and for more information on Youth Suicide Prevention Ireland, check out their website.
