Since its inception in 1945, Miss Great Britain has become the longest running and most prestigious pageant in the UK. Pleasingly it has moved with the times and is no longer primarily related to external beauty but expects the contestants to be modern women who embody strength, intelligence, ambition, integrity and compassion. These are all characteristics that Soroptimists applaud!<\/p>\n

Krystel Vida, an active member of SIB since June 2023, is one of the finalists who will compete in Leicester in October 2025. She has an impressive story to tell of rising above difficulties in her own life, becoming a successful translator, a committed Soroptimist and an effective fund raiser for cancer research through her amateur boxing. Krystel is being sponsored by the Thrive Programme, an organisation with the aim of \u201cEmpowering people with the skills, confidence and courage to make the most of their lives, regardless of their background, age or social status\u201d. She is also fund raising for a charity dealing with violence against women as part of her campaign. SIB is very proud of Krystel and 100% behind her – we wish her every success!<\/p>\n
