She will now take part in the UK Power Pageant at the Park Hall Hotel in Lancashire on 24 June, which will see national beauty queens being crowned: Miss International UK, Miss Grand England, Miss Scotland, & Wales, Miss Intercontinental England, Scotland.

Evania is planning to raise awareness about homeless by volunteering at Rochdale food bank which provides essentials for the local residents, and has been raising money for the Christies charity.

She said: "I feel like Rochdale is known for too many negative things such as poverty and low employment rate hopefully I can use my title to promote my town with positivity.”

All seven winners will be flown to their international final where they will compete against women from all over the world in the hopes of winning an international crown.
