The Importance Of Charity
As my campaign for the Miss London and Miss Hippodrome draws
closer, I wanted to share with you all the importance of charity work and fundraising
as part of the role of a Miss England contestant.
I think for many who look in from the outside, who have never given the Miss England organisation a chance or judge based on misinformation, such
competitions labelled beauty pageants can be seen as very self-deprecating and materialistic.
However, being involved in Miss England has given many young women up and down
the country a brilliant platform to showcase local charities and community
projects. It helps generate press and interest in campaigns, and by offering
your time and services, you are really giving back to society.
I have a few charity bits and bobs in the pipeline,
including:
·
Work bake sale
·
Run the ABP 10k this Sunday
·
Attending the Champneys Forest Mere charity and fundraiser
press day on May 7th
·
Fundraising for BWAP and St Christopher’s
Hospice at Bookers & Bolton Garden Party at the end of May
·
Run half-marathon
·
Work with CF Trust to campaign for more awareness
of cystic fibrosis
In 2015 and 2016 I completed a number of charity challenges,
including:
·
Sleeping homeless for Trinity
·
Running the ABP Half-Marathon
·
Raised awareness of CF with the “strawfie”
challenge
·
Completed the Wheelchair Awareness Challenge by
walking through counties up north
·
Played wheelchair rugby with the England team
·
Held a raffle for my local hospital’s cancer
ward
·
Presented at my local hospital’s charity fashion
show
·
Presented local council’s recycled fashion show
·
Numerous cake sales
·
Garden fete for charity
My charity goals over the next few years include running the
London marathon and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
I’m really excited to meeting all the Miss London and Miss
Hippodrome finalists, sponsored by Badarians Property Management, and I am
really looking forward to meeting the charity ambassadors who will be telling
us all about their amazing work and how we as contestants in the competition
can help their wonderful causes.
