DEMOLITION specialists have teamed up with a Liverpool children’s charity for 2010.

The MEES group have agreed to sponsor the KIND calendar to help celebrate its 35th year.

Liverpool FC assistant manager Sammy Lee visited the charity’s centre in Back Canning Street for the launch of the charity’s Christmas appeal yesterday.

Featuring some of the UK’s best-known children’s cartoon characters, the calendar will appear on the walls of 5,000 homes and businesses across Merseyside next year.

All money raised from the sale of the calendar will go directly towards the 2010 KIND Christmas appeal.

Thomas Mee, chief executive of the MEES Group, said: “We are proud to support such a great charity this Christmas.

“The calendar is fantastic and some of the characters take me back to my childhood.

“This is a chance to make a difference to the lives of some of our city’s most disadvantaged kids.”

Lee, who returned to Anfield as assistant manager last year, added: “We all have a responsibility to help disadvantaged kids make the most of their lives, which is why charities such as KIND are so important.

“I would just like to wish them every success.”
