On Friday 2 July, staff and colleagues at the NPA will be completing a sponsored walking tour of St Albans pharmacies – to be completed in 100 minutes, to reflect 100 years of the NPA. This will raise funds for Mental Health Charity, Mind. Please consider donating to this great cause to cheer the NPA Teams on. Even a small amount will help,
thank you!

A mental health problem can affect everything. It can have profound impact on our relationships, our work, our wellbeing and our quality of life. The covid pandemic and the associated changes to the way we have been living over the past year has put a great deal of pressure on everyone’s mental health. Few people will have no mental health
problems during their lifetime and most people will come into contact with mental illness amongst friends and family at some point.

Community pharmacies are well placed at the heart of local communities to identify and help those in need of support to maintain good mental health. They are concerned with the wellbeing of the whole person - mind as well as body.
