Kathy Martin, Strategic Impact Manager, said ‘Inequalities in health and in the social conditions that lead to poor health have been revealed and amplified by the pandemic. The impact of Covid-19 was visible in all the applications with each project uniquely responding to the needs of their community. This funding will support community-pharmacy partnerships to make a major impact on people’s lives and support them in their covid recovery.’
We welcome applications for the next round of funding - application forms will be available on our website from 16 June. Level 1 funding closes on 28 October and Level 2 funding closes on 18 November.
