Your Will for wellbeing

In today’s world, mental health issues, stress, addiction, and financial struggles are prevalent, and sadly, pharmacists are not immune. In our 2019 market research, a staggering 97% of pharmacists expressed the need for support from our charity. Over half cited challenges in managing work-life balance and workplace stress, with 27% feeling isolated. Where can they turn for help? That’s where we step in.

Your legacy will be a lifeline for pharmacists following in your footsteps. 

Our vision is that no one in our pharmacy family will face challenging times without us by their side. As a charity we aspire to grow our financial resilience to give pharmacists the resilience to thrive throughout their career (and beyond into retirement).  By leaving a gift in your will, you will be helping to ensure that future generations of pharmacists continue to get all the support they need. Every gift in every Will – regardless of size – will have a lasting impact on our future strength and ability to respond to the personal needs of pharmacists across Great Britain.

Did you know …

• You can allocate even 1% of your estate to Pharmacist Support, ensuring your loved ones inherit the remainder.
• A charitable gift of £10,000 could potentially save £4,000 in inheritance tax. However, professional advice is recommended.
• Without a will, there is a possibility that your surviving spouse may not inherit everything.

Want to ensure your wishes are honoured and your assets are allocated as you desire? A will provides the clarity and assurance needed to fulfil your intentions.

Getting started …

Including a charitable gift in your will is a straightforward process. Whether you’re drafting a new will or updating an existing one, we recommend consulting a solicitor or experienced will writer. Having an up-to-date Will is the only way to be sure the people and causes you care about are looked after. But it’s one of those things we often put off. That’s why Pharmacist Support has teamed up with Bequeathed to offer our supporters a free, professionally drafted Will For Good. Bequeathed is a free, convenient service that allows you to make the right Will for your needs, always with good legal advice.

With Bequeathed you can make a start on your Will For Good immediately. Just go online any time that suits you, register and complete the online Will interview. If you need help you can search hundreds of guidance articles, use online chat or book a support call.

Once the online interview is complete, you’ll receive online legal advice tailored to your circumstances. This will be in the form of recommendations, and sometimes requirements, from Bequeathed’s in-house Solicitor. You can book a free legal appointment to discuss any of these in more detail, then decide if you’d like to go ahead with a free basic Will or pay for the additional protection discussed. Or, as long as a free basic Will is suitable for your circumstances, you can choose the convenience of having your Will delivered straight to your inbox.

However you choose to complete it, you’ll receive your Will along with instructions on signing it correctly in front of witnesses. You’ll also receive a Letter of Advice summarising everything you’ve been told, and setting out what your Will does and doesn’t do.

Please consider leaving a gift to Pharmacist Support when you make your Will For Good. Your generosity will help us to carry on our vital work long into the future.
