The annual review also details how the charity continued to experience an increase in requests for assistance, resulting in over 10,000 acts of support being delivered to pharmacists, former pharmacists, trainees and Mpharm students across the year. This included a 35% increase in enquiries (1099 in total) and a 14% increase in referrals to their specialist advisors for advice in debt, benefits and employment law (282 in total).

Through a corporate partnership with Boots UK, the charity developed wellbeing training videos that were delivered to all pharmacists at the company. Through this affiliation Pharmacist Support was able to deliver wellbeing support to 16% of registered pharmacists in the UK, as well as to trainees and students.

 “Staff, volunteers, fundraisers and partner organisations worked so hard across the year,” commented Pharmacist Support Chief Executive Diane Leicester-Hallam. “Their commitment enabled us to deliver a record number of acts of support and helped us smash our £175,000 fundraising target in what was an incredibly special year for the charity.”
