We were delighted to attend the Welsh Pharmacy Trade Show in Cardiff in May and connect with individuals from our pharmacy family. After the event, the team at pharmacyshow.co.uk (the parent company of the Welsh Pharmacy Trade Show) reached out to donate £800 of proceeds to our charity in order to show their support for our pharmacy family and give back to the profession. 

Managing Director, Amy Stephenson, said that “Pharmacist Support is a valuable and vital service for the profession, especially at a time where the pressures in pharmacy are where they are just now. We were honoured to be able to do our bit to support the cause by donating our paid ticket values to the charity”.   

Speaking of the donation, Pharmacist Support’s Chief Executive, Danielle Hunt, says: 

“We’re very grateful that the team at pharmacyshows.co.uk has chosen to support the profession’s independent charity. Through generous donations such as this, Pharmacist Support can continue to provide crucial help to our pharmacy family via our support services.” 

Our charity relies on individual and corporate donations to ensure pharmacy students, trainees and pharmacists have access to free, independent and confidential support. Like many charities, Pharmacist Support has experienced fundraising challenges due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. With the help of this generous donation, we can continue helping those who need us through our support services and work towards our aim of raising £1million over the next four years.  

The Welsh Pharmacy Trade Show is a subsidiary of pharmacyshows.co.uk which specialises in bringing pharmacy professionals together through events, workshops and trade shows.
