Amber Hood
A passionate advocate for community change and a rising voice in British politics, Amber
Hood (19)from Dagenham Essex has been announced as an official Miss England 2026
Semi-Finalist, set to compete at the highly anticipated semi-final taking place on Sunday
11th October 2026 at Melton Theatre, Melton Mowbray Leicestershire.
Amber is not only a contestant in one of the UK’s qualifying competitions for Miss World but
also a driven young woman shaping a future in public service. Currently completing her first
year of a BSc in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics, Amber is already gaining invaluable
real-world experience through an internship with her local MP, where she contributes to
casework, research, and the daily workings of political life.
Amber with Angela Rayner recently
Her dedication to making a difference is already evident—since 2019, Amber has raised an
impressive £95,000 for charitable causes, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to
supporting her community and helping those in need.
This commitment was further strengthened when she attended a recent visit from Deputy
Prime Minister Angela Rayner, who delivered a powerful speech in Amber’s local area about
the importance of political engagement and its impact on working-class communities.
Amber’s journey into politics began at just 17 years old when she met her local MP,
Margaret Mullane. Their shared background as working-class women with a determination to
create meaningful change has played a key role in shaping Amber’s ambitions.
Beyond her academic and political pursuits, Amber continues to organise charity initiatives
and free local events, laying the groundwork for her long-term goal of becoming a local
councillor. With plans to graduate in 2028, she aims to combine her degree with four years
of hands-on political experience to drive lasting positive change.
Amber is proudly sponsored by NextGen Ent. Branded Workwear, supporting her journey
through the Miss England competition semi final .
The Miss England Semi-Final celebrates ambition, purpose, and impact through its
alignment with the ‘Beauty with a Purpose’ ethos—something Amber embodies
wholeheartedly through her charitable work and community focus.
The event at Melton Theatre will showcase a dynamic programme including talent, ethical
fashion, and the Beauty with a Purpose Awards, alongside the Mr England contest,
promising an inspiring evening of entertainment and purpose-driven competition.
