Show-stopping success!

Last night saw the launch of a project that’s close to our hearts.

It was a few months ago that Sally White (lead fundraiser and the driving force behind ORBS) had the idea of creating a unique calendar. The target was to use the calendar to raise much-needed funds for a research nurse at The Nottingham Breast Institute.

Jayne Mayled, Jupiter’s MD, and Sally developed the idea together and then a small team at Jupiter set to work…

We gathered a group of women together – contacts of Sally’s who had experienced breast cancer and who had come through it with an amazing zest for life and fearless confidence. At that meeting, each woman shared their personal journey – their hopes, dreams and ambitions. These very personal insights gave Creative Director Lorna Milligan and photographer Adam Shaw the inspiration and ideas to create each individual shot.

Each concept came to life through drawings, images and language that set the scene and helped to build a picture for the type of locations, props and clothing we wanted. Slowly but surely the calendar came to life, and the idea of holding an exhibition to further raise awareness and funds was born.

The launch event was a huge success, with over 100 clients, suppliers, friends and family coming along to support ORBS. To see photos from the launch night visit the ORBS gallery.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been involved and to everyone who has kindly donated their time, expertise or money.

Here’s to making the £20,000 target! If you’d like to order a calendar please email us, you can also donate online at Justgiving.
