Lucy is a biochemistry student and has taken on role of fundraising co-ordinator. This is a role that is key to the charity's success. Lucy is driven towards the aims of this campaign as she has seen mental health issues negatively impact too many lives of people close to her.

She found it so frustrating for those people knowing that with help they could have been living better lives but instead they got stuck due to the outdated stigma mental health still has. So for her to be a part of something like this would be a great opportunity to prevent others going facing the same problems on.
