Chairman meets fundraising teenager

Published: 01/07/2015

The Chairman of 窪蹋勛圖厙, Councillor Ray Hughes, recently met 14 year old Georgia Kaye Edwards, who is Miss Junior Teen 窪蹋勛圖厙. Georgia, from Penyffordd, is a Year 10 pupil at Castell Alun High School in Hope. She has been selected from hundreds of semi-finalists to compete in the final of Miss Junior Teen Great Britain to be held in Blackpool in October. Georgia is working hard to promote the events nominated charity Together for Short Lives, as much as possible. Together for Short Lives is the leading UK charity for all children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions and all those who support, love and care for them. They support families, professionals and services, including childrens hospices. Councillor Hughes said: Georgia is extremely caring and hard working and it was a pleasure to welcome her to County Hall. She has already been fundraising for Together for Short Lives, and is currently collecting donations of old clothes, bedding, and towels to take to the Clothes Bank to exchange for a donation to the charity. Please help if you can- donations can be made directly to Georgias Justgiving page www.justgiving.com/Georgia-Kaye-Edwards. Georgia said:- I dont think people realise that pageant competitions in this country are about far more than physical beauty. They require girls to raise funds for charity, get involved in community events, and basically show their caring side. Its a great thing for young people to be involved with, as it builds your confidence, teaches you more about what is going on around you, and makes you realise how lucky you are. Being involved with Miss Junior Teen Great Britain is turning out to be a very valuable life experience for me.
