POORLY youngsters will soon have a reason to smile thanks to a Hampshire business.

Choice Financial Solutions has launched a new charity calendar for the children’s ward at Southampton General Hospital with help from Hampshire boyband, The Reason.

The company is helping to raise £30,000 to fully revamp the G4 ward treatment room, used by young patients undergoing medical procedures.

Local photographer Georgina Green took the shots for the calendar, using patients of the ward, from past and present as models.

The calendars are now available for £7.50 and 75 per cent of the cost will go to the fund.

Calendars are available from Southampton based Choice Financial Solutions, 32 Carlton Crescent, the G4 ward, Indigo Flair at Winchester Cathedral Market and various branches of Pearson estate agents.
