Charity Ambassadors

Charity Ambassadors play a key role in helping the charity meet its strategic objectives to increase awareness of our work and optimise income generation and expenditure.

Our ambassadors champion the charity’s work within their local pharmacy communities by hosting information stands and delivering talks in their places of work/study, local networks and organisations. This role is vital to the work of Pharmacist Support and will help ensure that those eligible for support are aware of our existence and that they understand how to access our services. Another key part of the role will be to help raise valuable funds through events and the recruitment of fundraisers and donors so that the charity’s free and confidential support may continue long into the future.

Confident communicator
