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.

That’s why, as part of its centenary celebrations, the National Pharmacy Association is raising funds for the vital work of three mental health charities – MIND (England & Wales), Inspire Wellbeing (Northern Ireland) and the Scottish Association for Mental Health. Please give your support to this important cause!
