Care Leavers Shine in Pageant World

A pageant serves as a tangible goal for young adults leaving the care system, aiming to bring them to the same level as their peers. Become, a charity for children and young people with care experience, expressed pride in these efforts, noting that isolation after leaving care is a significant issue. Young adults often face challenges navigating adulthood independently after support systems fall away.

Charlotte Levy, who has experience with the care system, understands these challenges and advocates for mutual support among care-experienced individuals. She hopes to see improvements in access for care leavers within organizations like Miss Great Britain. Levy believes the values of pageantry, such as self-improvement and striving to be one's best, resonate with the message she wishes to convey.
