Former Miss England 2022 National Finalist and WASUP Queen Award winner Jennifer Carless is returning to the Miss England family in a brand-new role after being appointed as the new Regional Organiser for the South West . Jennifer first joined the Miss England competition as a 16 year old teenager and quickly became one of the contest’s most inspiring contestants winning the same award in two Miss England National finals.

Throughout her journey she combined beauty with purpose, dedicating herself to environmental campaigning and community work while becoming one of the leading ambassadors for WASUP – World Against Single Use Plastic. Her tireless commitment to sustainability earned her the prestigious WASUP Queen Award TWICE at the Miss England National Final, recognising the contestant who had made the greatest contribution to environmental awareness and recycling initiatives.

Despite facing significant health challenges, including living with the rare condition Fowler’s Syndrome, Jennifer continued to inspire thousands by openly sharing her story and using her platform to encourage other young women to speak openly about their health. She launched her Women’s Talk campaign to help break down stigma surrounding women’s health issues while continuing her charity and environmental work.

Her dedication extended far beyond the Miss England stage. Jennifer has represented WASUP internationally in Pakistan, travelled overseas promoting environmental awareness, worked alongside Professor Rashid Gatrad OBE, and has become recognised as one of the competition’s most passionate sustainability ambassadors.
