Reigning Miss England Grace Richardson to Lead Miss Leicestershire Derbyshire & Northamptonshire Contest

2 weeks ago

Reigning Miss England Grace Richardson is set to take on a new leadership role as organiser of the Miss Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Derbyshire contests, marking a proud and symbolic full-circle moment for both the county and the Miss England organisation.

Grace, who is from Leicestershire, who won the Miss East Midlands title before winning the place in Miss World becomes the first reigning Miss England titleholder to step directly into an organising role.

Her appointment reflects her own journey through the competition, from county contestant to national titleholder and now Miss World finalist.

Speaking about her new role, Grace said:
“To go from competing for Miss Leicestershire to organising it as Miss England feels incredibly special — it’s a privilege to give back.”

Grace Richardson is only the second contestant from Leicestershire to represent England at Miss World, the first being Sally Kettle in 2002 when she represented England in South Africa.

In November Grace returned the county to the national spotlight and underlined the strength of Leicestershire contestants on the Miss England stage.

Miss England Director Angie Beasley, who has supported and guided Leicestershire contestants in the Miss World qualifyer for over three decades, says the handover feels particularly fitting.

“Grace understands the platform, the responsibility and the opportunity it gives young women,” says Angie Beasley . “She’s lived the experience herself and is perfectly placed to lead Miss Leicestershire into its next chapter.”

The next Miss Leicestershire contest which is a triple crown contest incorporating a Miss Derbyshire & Miss Northamptonshire qualifer will take place in July, at the Pumping station Cropston with applications now open to young women aged 16-27 across all three counties. The event will incorporate a fundraising element – raising awareness and funds for the UHUMANS & Vayyu foundation in Kenya .

The three winners will go on to represent their respective counties at the Miss England competition.

For more details about the event and to get involved as a sponsor please email [email protected]

Applications can be made via the Miss England website.

Grace Richardson Uses Miss England Title to Inspire Resilience, Fitness and Purpose

2 months ago

Newly crowned Grace Richardson has pledged to use her year as Miss England in a positive and purposeful way as she prepares for the Miss World stage taking place in 2026.
The 20-year-old had high hopes of impressing judges in the Miss England Talent Round with a breathtaking ballet routine filmed inside the iconic Leicester Cathedral — a performance that captured her poise, strength and deep connection to her home city.

Filming her Talent video , Ballet dancing in Leicester Cathedral

Just days after submitting her talent video entry to Miss England, Grace fractured her foot during a routine practice session at university, where she is studying Musical Theatre. The injury meant she was unable to perform the routine live at the Miss England Final when she was shortlisted.
“It was devastating,” Grace said.
“Ballet is my first love, and I poured my heart into that performance. To then be told I couldn’t dance for months — right before the Miss England Sportsround and the final, and in my final year at university — was really hard to accept.”
Rather than withdrawing, Grace adapted — a decision that proved pivotal. Unable to dance, she instead performed Never Enough from The Greatest Showman using her voice — a courageous switch that won her the Miss England Talent Round, on day one of the contest ultimately securing her the Miss England title by just one point.

Ankyloglossia Condition

Singing has never come easily for Grace. Born with ankyloglossia — commonly known as being tongue-tied — she has faced lifelong challenges with speech and vocal control.
“People don’t always realise how something so small can have such a big impact,” she explained.
“It’s affected how I speak and sing, but I’ve worked hard with coaches and specialists to find ways to adapt. I’ve learned that limitations can be turned into strengths.”
For her Miss World audition, Grace plans to deliver a dual performance combining ballet and singing, showcasing the full range of her performing arts training and demonstrating the versatility that defined her Miss England win.
Grace is preparing not only for the Miss World Talent Round, but also the grueling Sports Round which will see her compete with over 100 countries from across the world.  Grace missed out on the Miss England Sportsround due to the ankle injury.

Grace missed out on the Miss England Sportsround held in Leicester due to her ankle injury but from January 1st will be training hard!

So alongside her artistic preparation, Grace is also rebuilding her fitness after spending more than four weeks in a medical boot!
Starting on January 1st, she will run 30km over 10 days, raising funds for the Vayyu Foundation and the Uhumans Project, highlighting her Beauty with a Purpose focus, Every Drop Counts which she has promoted during 2025.
Supporters can donate via Grace’s JustGiving page:
Representing England at Miss World,   Grace will be  proud to carry her region’s name onto the national stage.
“Leicester will always be home,” she said. “This city gave me the confidence to dream big. No matter what happens next, I want young people here to know that setbacks don’t define you — how you respond to them does.”
Every donation is appreciated.

How Tabitha’s Lunch with a Purpose raised £11,000 –

2 months ago

Miss Lancashire, Tabitha Bennett, has proven that pageantry can be a powerful platform for meaningful change.
Through her inspiring Beauty with a Purpose initiative, Tabitha organised a Lunch With A Purpose charity luncheon that raised an incredible £11,000, earning her the title of the Miss England Beauty with a Purpose Top Fundraiser and fast-tracking her into the Top 12 at Miss England, where she went on to finish as 4th Runner-Up in the national final.
A dream born from friendship and purpose
Tabitha’s journey into pageantry was shaped by shared ambition and friendship. After attending pageants with her mum, she met like-minded women she loved spending time with. When her best friend entered Miss Wales, the pair dreamed of winning their respective titles and representing their countries together on the Miss World stage — a goal that fuelled Tabitha’s determination to make a real impact.
Creating Lunch With A Purpose
The idea for Lunch With A Purpose came naturally. Held at Victors, a venue in Hale close to Tabitha’s heart and community, the luncheon took place in the town where she lives. Having attended similar events there for years, Tabitha knew it was the perfect setting to host around 90 guests — intimate, stylish, and welcoming.
Honouring a dear friend
The event was held in loving memory of Tabitha’s dear friend Carol, who passed away two years ago. During Carol’s illness, she received comfort and support from Maggie’s, a charity that provides tranquil spaces and compassionate care for people living with cancer. After visiting the centre and witnessing its impact first-hand, Tabitha knew she wanted to donate a percentage of the proceeds to Maggie’s as a way of giving back.

Planning every detail
Tabitha planned the entire day herself — from securing the venue to organising a live singer, auction, raffle, and photo booth. She set clear ticket targets and worked tirelessly to reach them, determined to make the event a success. “I always had the £10,000 goal in my head,” Tabitha explains. “It was something I really wanted to achieve, and I stayed optimistic.”  Raising £11,000 at the very first event exceeded all expectations and left her overwhelmed by the generosity of guests and local businesses, both big and small.
Community support and sponsors
The luncheon was made even more special thanks to generous sponsors. Pomelle provided a welcome drink for every guest, Mii Cosmetics donated beautiful products for the gift bags, and Selfie Booth UK contributed an auction prize while also capturing unforgettable moments from the day including a £400 donation from Dots Frocks.

Dots Frocks were one of Tabitha’s kind supporters ( click the image)

 

A Team effort
Tabitha is quick to credit her support network. Her mum Vicky and godmother Jemma were “absolutely phenomenal,” helping to secure over 100 raffle prizes and promote the event across all platforms. Her best friend Ilona also played a key role, assisting with raffle donations and creating the seating plan.
“I couldn’t have done it without them,” Tabitha says. “Their effort was incredible.”
Advice for future fundraisers
Tabitha’s advice to others is heartfelt and practical:
“Think of everyone you know and how they might help, even in a small way. People are so generous. Be optimistic, but also realistic about what you can raise.”
What’s next?
There’s no doubt Lunch With A Purpose is here to stay. Tabitha is committed to making it an annual event, with ambitions to raise even more money next year. She will also continue developing her platform ‘Think Before You Type’, with hopes of speaking in schools to educate young people about online safety and responsible digital behaviour.
As a gesture for her incredible fundraising efforts , proceeds from the Miss England final Raffle are being donated to Maggie’s place and organisers are hoping for further support from the Beauty with a Purpose charity in the new year.
For now, Tabitha has no plans to compete again in the future — but her impact through Beauty with a Purpose has already left a lasting legacy, showing how compassion, community, and commitment can truly change lives.

Earrings; Handmade with recycled pippette tips Necklace; Vintage find older than Charlotte can remember… Photo ; Alan Strutt

🎁 Give with purpose
Choose ethical brands, handmade gifts, or experiences over fast-fashion and throwaway items. Donations, workshops, theatre tickets or spa days create memories, not waste.
♻️ Wrap it sustainably
Skip shiny paper. Use brown paper, fabric wraps (Furoshiki), scarves, newspapers, or reusable gift bags tied with string or ribbon.
🌱 Decorate consciously
Reuse decorations year after year, choose wooden or recycled ornaments, and opt for real greenery you can compost afterwards.
👗 Dress ethically
Rewear, restyle, rent, or buy vintage. If buying new, support ethical or sustainable designers and fabrics.
🍽️ Eat mindfully
Plan portions to reduce food waste, buy local where possible, and consider a plant-based dish or two for a lighter footprint.
💡 Save energy
Use LED fairy lights, set timers, and switch them off overnight to cut energy use.
🤍 Give back
Volunteer, donate to a charity close to your heart, or support community initiatives—kindness is the most ethical gift of all
Remember Ethical doesn’t mean less festive—it means more thoughtful

A Miss England Finalist’s Journey From London to Vietnam — Celebrating Culture, Courage & Purpose

2 months ago

An award-winning playwright, emerging psychotherapist and nutritionist, and business owner from Camden, London, is currently representing England at Miss Cosmo International 2025 in Vietnam.

This follows her Miss Cosmo England title win at the recent Miss England competition which also saw her win the Explore the Nation Award in the Miss England Grand final.

 

Phoebe Michaelides (27) has already spoken highly of the extraordinary hospitality she has experienced from the Vietnames people from the moment she left the UK , just days after competing in the Miss England final.

Phoebe flew Business Class with Vietnam Airlines, enjoying a luxury journey and exceptional service. The airline operates regular direct flights between London and Vietnam

Vietnam Airlines kindly upgraded Phoebe to Business class on her way out to Vietnam so she arrived fresh and ready for the photographers on arrival.

Phoebe said:
“Vietnam has been extraordinary. From the tranquillity of the Buddhist temple in Huế to the vibrant World Tea Festival in Đà Lạt and Lâm Đồng, Vietnam has offered a cultural journey of remarkable depth. Ho Chi Minh City has a fast-paced modern dynamism.

The Vietnamese people are incredibly proud of their heritage, and their warmth has made this journey feel very special. It’s a country undergoing impressive economic growth, yet it holds tightly to its traditions. I’ve felt welcomed at every step.”

What Is the Explore the Nation Round in Miss England

3 months ago

November 2025  Press release

See the 2025 ENTRIES TO THIS ROUND HERE 

During the pandemic, it’s hard to believe now, but the whole world came to a standstill. With travel restrictions in place and everyone grounded, we were all forced to slow down, rediscover our surroundings, and appreciate the places we call home.

While many events were cancelled, Miss England continued — virtually. Determined to keep the competition alive and bring some positivity amid the difficult times, Director Angie Beasley and her son Josh teamed up with international app developers Choicely to create the Miss England App.

“We were thinking of different ways we could still hold a competition despite everything that was happening — something positive for people to focus on instead of all the bad news,” says Angie.

And from that idea, a brand-new round was born: Explore the Nation.

With the support of The Video News Factory and its owner John Allard, contestants were invited to submit a short video — up to two minutes long — showcasing the best parts of where they live. From seaside towns and historic landmarks to hidden countryside gems, the videos gave a new appreciation for England’s incredible diversity.

“We thought this might even help attract future tourism,” Angie explains. “It’s a valuable way for contestants to appreciate their home and share it with others.”

Since then, Explore the Nation has become a permanent and much-loved feature of the Miss England contest — and Angie admits it’s now her personal favourite round.

What Do the Judges Look For?

Judges are looking for genuine enthusiasm, effort, and creativity. Contestants are encouraged to show off their personality and presenting style while highlighting what makes their hometown or city special.

It’s not just about scenic shots — it’s about storytelling with, pride, and personality.
