After becoming a young carer at just 4, Sheri now wants to help others A Swindon woman who became one of Britain’s youngest carers has won a national beauty pageant and wants to use her platform to help other young carers. Sheri Harvey, 22, was announced as the new Miss Atlantic 2021/22 in a virtual ceremony on April 24. She also won the competition’s awards for best in interview, popularity and publicity. For Sheri, competing in pageants started as a way to overcome losing confidence when she was bullied in school. She has since won many beauty pageants in the UK. Sheri is using her Miss Atlantic title to set up her Caring4Children platform, inspired by her own experiences.

A COLD April morning did not prevent Swindon shoppers coming out in force as Covid restrictions eased yesterday. After the third national lockdown left all of us stuck at home for weeks on end, people suddenly felt spoilt for choice as non-essential retailers reopened, pubs served pints to punters in beer gardens, gyms allowed fitness fans to use the facilities, and hairdressers got to work fixing overgrown mops. A brisk and cloudy Monday morning with light rain and even the odd bit of snow soon gave way to glorious sunshine beaming down onto Regent Street. As usual, Primark saw the most eager shoppers lining up to bag a bargain and part of College Street was closed to accommodate the constant stream of customers, though the line did not reach the remarkable lengths seen after the first lockdown ended last year.
