Cowper's Chemist

On Tuesday Phil attended another dinner at the House of Lords in London along with MP's and members of the Independent Pharmacy Association (IPA) to discuss how funding issues are affecting independent pharmacies like Joseph Cowper Ltd.

Hot off the train on Wednesday, Phil and I then travelled to Durham to attend the Community Pharmacy England (CPE) meeting. We were both extremely privileged to be able to talk to Professor Dame Jenny Harries DBE, who many of you will know was the Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England during Covid and who has now been appointed as non-executive Chair of the Community Pharmacy England Committee. A really lovely lady who was keen to hear and understand all the issues surrounding funding for community pharmacy. What a week!🙂

Please support this worthwhile cause.

Cowper's Mobility Centre in Penrith recently made a very generous donation of specialist equipment to Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw.

At a time when they were making the difficult decision to close their Mobility Centre, they chose to ensure this equipment could continue to make a difference in their local community - a truly thoughtful gesture.

The donated profiling bed and pressure mattress have already helped provide comfort and dignity, and raised vital funds through our Furniture Shop to support local families.

It's kindness like this that helps us continue to care for people across Cumbria, and we couldn't do it without the support of local businesses like Cowper's.

While Cowper's Mobility Centre is closing, Cowper's Chemist in Penrith, which has served the community since 1899, remains very much open, continuing its longstanding commitment to local people.

Staff at Joseph Cowper Ltd (Cowper's Chemist) celebrated Angela Sowerby's retirement after 53yrs, with an afternoon tea at Greystoke Castle. Angela started working at Cowper's Chemist in 1973 in the Dispensary and finished her career as the company book keeper. We all wish Angela well for her retirement and hope she has more time to spend in her garden and reading the books she enjoys. Congratulations Angela.
