Making things simple is the easiest way to make progress.

I’ve always supported my fellow colleagues and even families
throughout my career. I now want to do this professionally through Pharmacist Support tailored to individual need - starting from early years all the way through to retirement.

I want to raise lots of money to support my valued fellow colleagues and their families in times of most need and support - through a simple message:

• You don't always need big money to make a difference
• All it takes is one single pound
• Small can be BIG

Any one of us can fall on hard times; find ourselves in need of some advice or someone to share our anxieties and fears with. With an unrivalled understanding of the key issues affecting those in the sector and the expertise and skills of our volunteer pharmacists, the charity is able to provide tailored support to those in need of assistance.
