A LAW graduate who won a beauty pageant has made use of her title to raise money for charity.

This year's Miss Brighton Angel Collins organised a fundraiser at Trafalgar Arches Market in the city on Saturday for Beauty with a Purpose, a charity to help disadvantaged children across the world.

She was one of a string of volunteers to raise money with a cross trainer relay, alongside face painting, a raffle and food stalls.

Fresh from graduating with a law degree from St Marys University, Twickenham, the 21-year-old now wants to support Sussex domestic abuse charity RISE. The national 1500 metres track athlete also wants to earn her GB vest.

She attended Drive Prep School, Hove, Chailey School, Lewes, and Sussex Downs College, Eastbourne.

She is now a Miss England semi-finalist with final results announced on July 5.
