A Dalry student, who is in the running to being crowned a beauty queen, is doing a charity fire walk.

Lauren Houston, 16, is representing Ayrshire in the Miss Teen Galaxy UK 2019 next March.

The former Ardrossan Academy pupil would like to use her title to help her support charities and is taking part in a fire walk for ACCORD Hospice this Saturday (September 29).

Proud mum Angela said: “Lauren is very quiet, but this has been a confidence booster. My gran was just diagnosed with lung cancer and given two months to live, so Lauren wants to support ACCORD. “
