A body positive beauty queen is raising money to help children with life-threatening illnesses.

Megan Casey won the Miss Norfolk Curve title in June and is using it to raise vital funds for the East Anglia Children's Hospice.

As well as providing expert care for desperately sick children, the charity provide emotional and practical respite for families.

Ms Casey has organised a Christmas fun event at Barnham Village Hall on Saturday, Decemeber 1, from 2pm to 9pm.

The day will include a 'Barnhams Got Talent' show, a Santa's grotto and face painting.

Ms Casey said: 'EACH have already raised £4.5m to help extend the hospice but still need another £2.5m to be able to keep building. It seems a lot but every penny counts.

'I'm looking for things to put into our silent auction for our fundraiser donations of cakes for our cake sale. Anyone who wants to come along just to put some money into the bucket is welcome.'
