Climate Changemaker Award

Since 2015, we've loved running our annual ethical awards to discover changemakers who are using their platforms for purpose driven causes to help people, planet and animals. Our changemakers are supporting our Trees To Save The Planet project to tackle our climate crisis and help African families out of poverty and hunger.

Through collecting tree planting pledges our Climate Changemaker Award brings together a diverse range of people to engage with our climate change crisis. Entrants meet like-minded friends, gain confidence, learn new skills, win fantastic prizes and have lots of fun tackling eco-social issues with our associated, supporters and charities.

Eco Award

In 2007, the Miss England National Director, Angie Beasley invented the Miss England 'Eco Award Round' as not everyone can afford to buy expensive designer clothes. In this qualifier contestants are invited to get creative and think about recycling. The national finalists are invited to source an outfit made from recycled materials, making sure the outfit looks stylish on the catwalk. Often the contestants purchase clothing from charity shops or gather recycled materials to create some amazing green creations! 

The eco outfits created were judged by Kelly Levell, founder of We Do Ethical, since crowning her first brand ambassador Carina Tyrell back 2015. This year's judging is working closely in association with World against Single Use Plastic - WASUP and PLASTFREE, a new Biodegradable Sanitary Towel. Bhasha Mukherjee has become the Face of the brand in 2020. Link to the FACE OF THE BRAND press page.
