A RECEPTIONIST who works at Stricklandgate Dental Practice, in Kendal, is close to grasping the Miss England title after qualifying for the next round.

Hannah Bradley, aged 22, will be competing at the Miss England Midlands semi-final on June 2.

Part of the contest involves fundraising for the nominated charity Papyrus, a suicide prevention charity.

Hannah will be hosting a number events over the next few months to raise as many funds as possible for the charity.

Over the past year the former Miss Cumbria queen had raised more than £3,500 for several charities including Variety, the Children's charity and CFM's Cash For Kids.

On the one day event, which will take place at Resorts World Birmingham, the contestants will undergo an interview, a catwalk round as well as a 'Beauty with a purpose fundraising' round.

You can vote for her on the Miss England website.
