Miss Northern Ireland, a renal nurse, spent her time engaging with the community, raising awareness of kidney disease and the importance of research. This unique opportunity allowed visitors to learn more about kidney health from an expert in the field together with volunteers from the charity. Thankfully the weather held up and there was a great atmosphere in the vibrant beer garden.

Miss Northern Ireland launched her fundraising initiatives for NIKRF by inviting guests to enter a raffle where they could win a steak meal deal for 2. She met with children throughout the day, handing out tiaras and sweets, and ensuring the day was filled with fun and laughter. The event proved a great success in a delightful blend of education, community spirit, and entertainment for all ages.

"We were thrilled to have Miss Northern Ireland with us today," said Susan Kee, Outgoing Chair of NIKRF "Her dual role as a beauty queen and renal nurse perfectly aligns with our mission to promote awareness of kidney disease and raise money for research. We had a fantastic day of hope and celebration. We are so proud of Hannah and looking forward to working with her as Miss Northern Ireland throughout the year and in her run up to Miss World."
