A CALENDAR dedicated to NHS heroes and frontline workers was launched in west Belfast yesterday.

Actor Packy Lee, who starred in the crime drama Peaky Blinders, was among those who attended the unveiling of 'The Beauty on our Doorstep 2021' calendar in the Kennedy Centre.

Created by mental health campaigner John Mallon, this year's calendar is dedicated to those working in the health service, particularly during recent months of the coronavirus pandemic.

It is the sixth year Mr Mallon has created the calendar, which he said aims to "send a powerful message of support".

Proceeds of the sales of the calendar, which can be purchased in the Kennedy Centre, will be donated to the homeless community.
