Tackling loneliness, one step at a time 

Pharmacists work tirelessly to support their communities—but who supports them? Many in our profession experience loneliness and isolation, which can take a serious toll on mental health.  That’s why we have launched the ‘Walk for Wellbeing campaign –  Tackling loneliness one step at a time’ – a nationwide initiative to bring pharmacists together, encourage connection, and raise vital funds for our free support services.  Whether you stroll through your local park or take on a tougher trail, every step counts. 

Organise your walk for wellbeing today! 

Walks can be as long or short as you like—from a local lunchtime loop to a full 18.4km challenge (in honour of our 184th birthday!). You can go solo, walk with colleagues, or rally friends and family. However you do it, your walk will make a difference. 

How to plan your wellbeing walk 

1. Choose a date – Pick a day that works for you and your walking crew. Consider the weather and allow time to plan your route and promote your event.
2. Choose a route – Decide on the distance and location—whether it’s a gentle green space, a scenic trail, or even a route between local pharmacies! For inspiration and maps, try Trailzilla.
3. Register your challenge – Register your ‘walk for wellbeing’ to receive our fundraising pack and helpful hints to support your walk.
4. Invite people to join you – Spread the word among colleagues, fellow students, friends and family. The more the merrier—and the more awareness and funds you’ll raise.
5. Set up your fundraising page – It’s quick and easy to create a JustGiving fundraising page and start collecting donations. Share your story, your route, and your goal—and watch the support roll in.

Make every step count 

We’ll be with you every step of the way with: 

• A downloadable Fundraising Pack 
• Tips for planning your walk, staying safe and making it fun 
• Social media posts to help spread the word 

Every pound you raise will help us provide vital mental health, financial, and wellbeing support to pharmacists, trainees and students who are struggling.
