AN ASPIRING beauty queen is set to hold a charity night out.

Annie Barter, who is Miss East Anglia 2016/17, is hosting the charity event as part of her preparation for Miss Essex 2017.

The event is in aid of Beauty with a Purpose, the Miss World charity.

Success at Miss Essex 2017 would see Annie qualify to compete in Miss England, and she is hoping successful fundraising will add to her impressive resume.

Beauty with a Purpose donates money to disadvantaged children around the world, and Annie is honoured just to be given the opportunity to fundraise for the charity.

Annie, of Bentall Close, Halstead, said: “I’m just proud to be a part of Miss Essex and to be able to hold this fundraising event is amazing.

“Honestly every penny raised that goes to charity makes a huge difference and I can’t wait to see what happens.

“Every contestant works so hard towards the charity and im honoured to be given the opportunity to be a part of it.”

Annie will be hosting a party at the Dorrington on March 25.

Tickets will cost £4.50, with all funds being donated to Beauty with a Purpose.
