Miss England

  • Home
  • Miss England
Prof Gatrad was Invited to a function in Coventry in May 2019 and it was there that he met Angie Beasley. They immediately ‘clicked’ with their friendship taking root and growing in strength. Angie’s passion for the environment and sustainability led to Rashid being invited to the local Miss Birmingham event, followed by an invitation, facilitated by Angie, to meet Miss World in Newcastle at the Miss England final in July. 
 
Once Miss England was crowned, through Angie, Prof Gatrad invited Bhasha to various events including the launch of the Climate Change event in Birmingham, a huge symposium at the Manor Hospital on WASUP, where there were over 200 people from all walks of life including teachers, CEO’s and faith leaders. She also came as the chief guest at the WASUP Musical in Walsall where both the Miss England finalists Isobel Lines and Jodie Duckworth performed brilliantly.  
 
It was at the WASUP symposium that the plan to send Miss England to Pakistan was confirmed and various events in Pakistan were programmed for Bhasha Mukherjee to launch the WASUP campaign in various parts of the country. However, Miss England wished to go to India first and then to Pakistan. Unfortunately, the Pakistan visit was aborted in view of Covid 19.
 
In the meantime, with the help of Diana Crabtree (wife of the Lord Lieutenant, John Crabtree, and President of St John’s Ambulance) and Isobel Lines (Miss England finalist from 2019), WASUP Worcester was launched to great acclaim and was attended by a representative of Her Majesty the Queen. 
 
However, Prof Gatrad and Angie continued their talks on WASUP and Rashid was invited to judge the Midlands section of the Miss England competition. Thereafter further discussions led to Angie suggesting that various competitors become WASUP ambassadors in different parts of the country and raise awareness and practically help decrease the problem of single use plastic.
 
Isobel Lines had been to various events and understood WASUP well. Once she won the Miss Black Country title Prof Gatrad appointed her as the ambassador in chief for WASUP and she took charge of all the other Miss England WASUP ambassadors around the country and also the WASUP website. She has already started visiting schools in Walsall and continues to lead the education campaign through schools.  One of the youngest Ambassadors is the Miss England semi- finalist 2020 Jennifer Carless from York. At the age of 15 she has brought a lot of energy to the campaign which continues to go upwards and onwards. 

Angie Beasley

Angie Beasley is the director and organiser of Miss England. A competition which is noted for emphasising the importance of charity and humanitarian work. Angie and Professor Gatrad (Founder of WASUP) met in 2019 and immediately Angie began her commitment to WASUP, providing the contestants with an opportunity to get involved in WASUP and promote the dangers of plastic pollution through the platforms of their area titles. Angie is also actively involved in the ongoing preparations for the launch of WASUP in Leicestershire which is planning to go ahead later this year.

Isobel Lines

Isobel Lines (20) is the current Miss Black Country and a Miss England Finalist 2020.

In June 2020, Isobel accepted the role of ‘Chief Ambassador’ for WASUP. Her role involves actively demonstrating the 4 principles of WASUP alongside providing guidance and support to other ambassadors who wish to get involved in the organisation. Isobel and Professor Gatrad (Founder of WASUP) met in June 2019. Within the last year, Isobel has launched WASUP in Worcester, appeared on countless press coverages promoting the work of WASUP, attended events organised by Professor in Walsall and most recently, Isobel has ventured into local schools within the Black Country to present plastic pollution awareness sessions for pupils during a global pandemic.

Jennifer Carless

Jennifer (16) is a Miss England Semi Finalist and will be competing for her place in the Finals on July 31st virtually.

Jennifer is the official York Ambassador for WASUP and within the past month has been highly active in promoting the project within her local community and all over the country! On Jennifer’s 16th Birthday, she wrote a letter to the Prime Minister raising the issue of plastic pollution and asked him to ‘Get WASUP Done!’.
