Mairi has experienced first hand the struggles of trying to get help for two people close to her who are dealing with mental health issues. The lack of resources available in London-Middlesex is a driving force for her joining this committee.

She aims to increase private funding for the CCCL through private donations and lobbying

the government for support and grants. This is paramount to tackle the issues faced here in London-Middlesex surrounding araes.

She is dedicated to see that mental health is accessible to everyone.
