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 said: “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 band’ mask holders for the NHS.

"I also made protective 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."

Due to the incredible fundraising Alina has done during her year as Miss Dorset – Kelly Levell (Miss Dorset's organiser) has extended Alina’s reign to another year where she will compete for the second time in the final of the Miss England contest.

She was the second top fundraiser of the year in the contest.

Daredevil Miss Green took on her next fundraiser to swim with sharks and she has also helped out at her local foodbank in Bracknell.

On Friday, September 25, Alina visited the Kerith Centre and dropped off "huge boxes" of perishable goods and toiletries to help those who are less fortunate.

Her mum Caroline said it was received with "great thanks."
