“Many of the contestants had already started raising funds for Charities as part of the Miss World contest Ethos is Beauty with a Purpose .I didn’t want to let the contestants down by calling it off altogether . At first I thought we had no choice. But eventually I thought the best way forward was to run the contest online starting with Miss Leicestershire contest , our first contest of the season . The contestants seemed to have enjoyed the virtual experience so far” said Angie.

The Miss Leicestershire contest was due to be held at Leicester’s oldest theatre the Y Theatre on 27^th March & contestants were raising funds for the Y sponsor a House Campaign the week of the lockdown .

3 of the top 5 contestants Tia & Emily Rowlands & Khushboo Patel raised over £720 collectively for the charity and Miss World Beauty with a Purpose charity donated £6,000 the Y Sponsor a House Campaign Charity which will pay for a 5 bedroomed house for homeless youngsters living in Leicester.
