Securing the future of pharmacy through your Will
When the caregiver needs care
Pharmacist Support, our profession’s independent charity, plays a vital role in safeguarding pharmacy wellbeing, offering free and confidential support for a range of issues, such as financial hardship, challenges with mental health, addiction and work-life stress, as well as providing practical help through their free wellbeing workshops and resources.
Behind every call for help is a real person … a colleague, a friend, someone who once stood beside you at the dispensary. In the past year, Pharmacist Support has answered thousands of those appeals: from a pharmacist with nowhere safe to sleep, to one escaping domestic abuse, to another struggling under the weight of workplace bullying. But our profession’s charity can only continue this vital work with your support.
The demand for Pharmacist Support’s life-changing support services has never been higher. Every new request for help is a reminder of how essential their work has become and how important it is that those who share its vision continue to stand behind it.
How your legacy can be a lifeline for people following in your footsteps
Writing a Will ensures your wishes and your family’s welfare are respected after you’re gone, and it also gives you the chance to support a cause that understands your world. By leaving a gift to Pharmacist Support in your Will, you are helping to ensure future generations of pharmacists have access to help when they need it most. Every gift in every Will – regardless of size – will have a lasting impact on the charity’s future strength and ability to respond to the personal needs of our pharmacy community across Great Britain.
The good news is that Pharmacist Support offers more than just encouragement. The charity has partnered with My Intent to offer supporters a free, professionally drafted ‘Will for Good’. My Intent is a free, convenient service that allows you to make or update the right Will for your needs, always with good legal advice. With My Intent you can make a start on your ‘Will for Good’ straight away at any time that suits you, following a few steps:
- Register and complete the online Will interview
- Once the online interview is complete, you’ll receive online legal recommendations and requirements tailored to your circumstances from My Intent’s in-house solicitor
- If you’d like, you can book a free legal appointment to discuss any of these in more detail
- Decide if you’d like to go ahead with a free basic Will or pay for additional protection
- When you’re happy, have your Will delivered straight to your inbox along with instructions on signing it correctly in front of witnesses.
A Will is so important but often something that we’ll ‘get round to doing another day’. However, making or updating your Will doesn’t need to be daunting and by choosing to use My Intent’s ‘Will for Good’ service, you’ll have access to guidance every step of the way. And, while there is no obligation to leave a gift to Pharmacist Support, the option to remember the charity helps sustain their future work and ensure that when fellow professionals face difficult times, there is help available. For Pharmacist Support, such income is especially important because the challenges facing pharmacy professionals are wide-ranging and often unpredictable. So, please consider including a gift in your Will to Pharmacist Support so that no one in the future generations of our pharmacy family has to face challenging times alone.
