Behind every pharmacy professional is a person

Someone who might be coping with grief. Living with anxiety. Experiencing burnout. Struggling to pay the bills. Facing financial adversity. Wondering where to turn. At Pharmacist Support, we’re here for those moments.

Every year, we provide vital support to pharmacy professionals and students through our free and confidential support services. And every year, the number of people seeking our help grows – last year alone, we made 24% more referrals to our counselling and peer support services than the previous year. As more pharmacy professionals turn to us for support, we need more people to fundraise and donate so we can continue being there for everyone who needs us.

That’s why we’re asking you to take on a Walk for Wellbeing: 97 for 97 challenge. By walking 97km or completing 97,000 steps throughout September, and asking your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you, you’ll be helping ensure no one in our pharmacy family has to face life’s challenges alone.

Why 97?

Because 97% of pharmacy professionals say they need support from Pharmacist Support at some point in their lives. This September, we’re asking you to show that 97% they’re not alone. Whether you choose to walk 97km or complete 97,000 steps, you’ll be helping ensure support is available whenever it’s needed.

Every sponsorship donation changes lives

Behind every donation is someone whose life has been changed by Pharmacist Support. The money you raise could help us:

> Train a volunteer to support a pharmacist in distress

> Fund specialist advice to ease debt and benefit worries

> Provide emergency grant support during financial hardship

> Help someone cover essential living costs, such as household bills or warm clothing

> Fund confidential counselling to protect someone’s mental health and wellbeing.

Every pound raised helps us continue supporting the people behind pharmacy.
