Trustee
Most recently, Kyla was representative of the Office of Fair Trading for Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and is a Trustee of the David Hume Institute, an independent Scottish think tank. She has also been active in promoting corporate social responsibility. She is now retired.
Her interest in mental health issues stems from family and professional involvement. She has worked on implementing the Adults with Incapacity Act (Scotland) on the Legal Protection Committee of Alzheimer Scotland and in various roles supporting dementia sufferers and carers.
On the Mental Health Foundation board, Kyla has a particular concern for our activity in Scotland and the dissemination of understanding and practice across the nations of the UK. She wants to help break down the taboos and inequalities associated with mental health and, in particular, to support employers in promoting good mental health.
