Between 31st March 2017 and 30th September 2024, there has been a net loss of 1,250 community pharmacies across England – unfortunately a vast proportion of these closures have occurred in the most deprived areas. Without your help, further pharmacy closures are inevitable.
We urgently need your support to ask MPs from all political parties to support our cause to get pharmacies the funding they need to keep their doors open.
