CMHP Hardship fund application

In line with our charitable aims each year the CMHP supports a limited number of applications to the College hardship funds. The funds are designed to enable those who are in financial distress to become College members or access an educational event provided by the CMHP free of charge. All applications to the hardship fund will remain strictly confidential and will only be shared with the hardship fund panel (which is made up of current council members).

To qualify for consideration to the hardship funds the candidate must be:

·  a pharmacist, pharmacy technician or student (pharmacist or technician) who is either currently working in the mental health field, has previously worked in mental health or has a proven interest in mental health

·  able to commit to attend the educational event being supported

·  unable to secure funding by other means

·  not in permanent employment (unless in exceptional circumstances)

Current members of the CMHP will be given priority over the hardship fund allocation. The amount of funds available is allocated annually by the College council. Applicants will be informed of the decision within one month.

If successful the candidate will receive one free place to a CMHP educational event or one year free membership to the CMHP.

If you are interested in applying to the fund please complete the attached form electronically and email to
