MISS North Cumbria's charity evening was a huge success as she raised £2,855 for causes close to her heart. 

Roseanne Reed-Brough, 27, from Great Orton, held the 'Ultimate Charity Evening & Dinner' at The Andalusian on July 7, raising vital funds for both Cancer Research and Alex's Wish. 

Cancer research is a charity very close to Roseanne following the passing of her father from lung cancer in 2019. 

"I want to stress just how much the support from everyone who came means to me," she said.

"Raising this amount of money from this event must also should be credited to Tracey Bowman (owner of Andalusian). She is such an amazing soul. Her support has been amazing, I'm so grateful.

"Some people also brought sentimental memorial items who lost their loved ones to some form of Cancer which was really touching," she said. 

The event was sponsored by a plethora of businesses, including Carol's Bridal Boutique, who put on a spectacular catwalk showcasing their new Kevan Jon Occasion Wear.

Pioneer food services also supported the event, helping provide a two-course meal for over 60 guests.

The pageantry star will also be bringing two more events before heading to the Miss Great Britain Finals in October - of which "everyone and anyone is welcome".

"I absolutely love events and run the business, A Touch Of You - mainly supplying TeePee Hire," she said. "This stemmed from the passing of my dad, initially as therapy doing creative work then grew fast into event hire too.

"It's totally heart-filling getting everyone together and watching everyone have a great time - a bonus when it's for charity too," she said.
