Chisholm Hands Calendar Proceeds to Charity

British singer Melanie Chisholm is supporting a homeless charity this Christmas (11) by donating funds raised from her 2012 calendar.

The former Spice Girls star has allowed several of her promotional pictures to be used in the Melanie C Fans' Charity Network Calendar, and a portion of the proceeds will go to Britain's Shelter organisation.

A post on the singer's website reads, "Melanie and the photographers have been incredibly kind to us in allowing us to use some recent studio and location shots for the calendar. "Profits made this year will be split between the fans' choice charity - Action For Children and Melanie's choice of Shelter".
