Interesting Fact
Hi, I’m Bal. In 2024, I had the honour of representing England in Mister Global, where we placed in the top ten. Pageantry was completely new to me then, and I learnt a lot from all of the other international representatives.
My love of travel began when I spent a semester studying abroad in University. Since then, I have visited 36 countries in total, travelling more than 20 countries solo. Trekking this year to 5,416 m in the Nepalese Himalayas, was a life-changing experience. Closer to home, I enjoy volunteering and helping at primary or secondary schools - with reading or mock interviews.
I am returning to Mr England with more confidence and experience, and it would be a dream come true to go one step further this time. I want to give it my all, and I hope seeing me come back encourages someone else to give something they care about another shot.

Interesting Fact
Voltaire Taiwo de Campos is an actor, entrepreneur, charity leader and passionate advocate for young people, whose commitment to making a difference has shaped more than half of his life.
His journey into service began remarkably early. At just 14 years old, Voltaire founded his own theatre company, using the performing arts to create opportunities and inspire others. His charitable work has taken him on an extraordinary journey, including the opportunity to meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama in recognition of his contribution to charitable causes.
A graduate in Acting, Voltaire has built an impressive career in the entertainment industry, appearing in major international productions including The Legend of Tarzan, Ready Player One and Pokémon Detective Pikachu. Beyond the screen, he has also worked in a specialist care home supporting young people with additional needs, bringing joy, creating meaningful experiences and helping young people feel valued and included.
Today, Voltaire is a CEO and entrepreneur, leading both charitable and youth-focused initiatives. As co-founder of Fly High Futures, he works to improve opportunities for young people, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, through aviation themed workshops, education, mentoring, confidence building personal development and creative arts. Built around the belief that “The Sky Was Never the Limit”, the organisation challenges young people to think beyond their circumstances, discover their potential and pursue opportunities they may never have considered possible.
His commitment to young people extends beyond his own organisations. As a volunteer with Fight for Peace, Voltaire facilitates Man Talk sessions, creating safe spaces for young men to have honest, open and healthy conversations about life, identity and their experiences.
Professionally, he was also Operations Manager of Hyper Reality, an immersive entertainment experience that has achieved remarkable recognition on TripAdvisor, ranking at number one ahead of some of London’s most established attractions and entertainment experiences such as The London Eye, Madam Tussaud’s and The English National Ballet.
For Voltaire, success has never been measured solely by personal achievements, professional recognition or the roles he has played on screen. It is measured by the opportunities he creates, the confidence he helps build and the lives he can positively influence.
Having dedicated more than half his life to serving others, he hopes to use the Mister England platform to amplify his work, inspire more young people and demonstrate that being a role model is not about what you say, but what you consistently do.
