Beauty Queens from across the UK, including Doncaster’s own Charlotte Lister who is hoping to be crowned Ms Eco Pageants UK next month, met up for a sponsored snorkel with sharks at Manchester Sealife in aid of YoungMinds, which is a young people’s mental health charity.

The event was been organised by Meg Byrne who was Miss Voluptuous Europe 22 and is now hoping to be crowned Miss Galaxy UK 2024.

“The event was absolutely brilliant we were able to get up close and personal with a variety of sharks, stringrays and even turtles which were definitely my favourite,” said Charlotte.

The event raised £660 including Gift Aid for YoungMinds.
