She is partnered with We Do Ethical, an eco-conscious brand that promotes ethical living.
Last year, the company asked its contestants to make an ‘eco-dress’ for the finals, and this year the goal was to raise money to encourage tree planting across the UK.

Alina told the News: “As Miss Dorset 2019 I did multiple beach cleans, helped feed the homeless, raised £9,486 for various charities such as the Chronicle Sunshine fund, made kangaroo pouches for those affected in the Australian fires, made scrubs bags and button mask holders for the NHS, made masks for the local vets, stood up for Black Lives Matter and educated myself, as well as just changing my lifestyle to be more eco-conscious.
“Continuing as Miss Dorset 2020 I hope to carry on helping my community and raising awareness of fast fashion as well as helping with the tree pledge.”
