At 21, Tabitha is passionate about showing that Beauty with Purpose can make a real difference.

Returning as a Miss England finalist for the second consecutive year, this time representing Cheshire her home county , Tabitha’s journey has been one of ambition, resilience and a genuine desire to inspire others.

Tabitha is currently in my final year studying Fashion Marketing at UAL in London, with a passion for fashion, modelling and creativity and says ;

“Last year, I achieved fourth runner-up at Miss England and was awarded Top Fundraiser of the Year after raising an incredible £11,000 for Maggie’s Cancer Centres at Clatterbridge and Beauty with a Purpose.

My fundraising was recognised by the World Book of Records, and I was invited to the Houses of Parliament to receive an award. Supporting Maggie’s remains incredibly close to my heart.Miss England is also a family tradition. Exactly 40 years after my mum competed at the age of 21, I am following in her footsteps at the same age!

After experiencing online trolling before & following last year’s competition , Tabitha decided to turn a difficult experience into something positive.

“I now champion my message ‘Think Before You Type’, encouraging young people to choose kindness and understand the impact their words can have.

For me, Miss England is about far more than a crown. It is a platform to raise awareness, support worthwhile causes, inspire other young women and promote kindness.”

Tabitha is returning with renewed confidence, a feeling of unfinished business and the ambition to represent Cheshire with pride, hopefully going on to represent England at Miss World in Tanzania in 2027!

Fun fact: This will be Tabitha’s second year competing in Miss England .

At last years final , Tabitha celebrated her 21st Birthday on the same day!
