Walk for Wellbeing: Tackling loneliness one step at a time
Pharmacists care for others—now it’s time we care for them.
Across Great Britain, pharmacy professionals are feeling the strain. In our most recent Workforce Wellbeing Survey, 70% said they often or very often feel lonely or isolated, while 87% are at high risk of burnout.
That’s why this year, we’re inviting everyone across the pharmacy community to step forward and Walk for Wellbeing—raising vital funds and awareness to ensure no one in our pharmacy family faces difficult times alone.
Why we're walking
Pharmacists, trainees, and students give so much to support others. But too often, they do so at a cost to their own health and wellbeing.
“Over the past five years, we’ve seen increasing demand for our free and confidential support services, particularly as mental health and wellbeing concerns have grown across the profession. This campaign is about bringing people together, sparking meaningful conversations, and funding the services people turn to when they’re struggling.”
-says Danielle Hunt, Chief Executive of Pharmacist Support

How you can help
You don’t have to walk 18.4km (unless you want to!). Your walk could be:
> A quick stroll with colleagues on your lunch break
> A longer weekend hike with friends or family
> A mindful solo walk to boost your own wellbeing
Every step counts. Every pound makes a difference.

The power of your support
“The help I’ve received has honestly meant the world to not just me, but my family as well...The support both financially and through the counselling service has meant that they don’t have that burden to deal with now.”
– Simona, Beneficiary
