Free Pharmacy Membership For Charles Names
In celebration of the upcoming royal visit, BDA Community Pharmacy is offering a free membership to everyone named Charles.
A spokesperson said, “On April 30th and May 1st, all residents named Charles are invited to collect a free BDA Membership, designed to support healthier lifestyles and increase wellness savings.
“This lighthearted promotion comes with serious benefits. The BDA Membership, created in collaboration between the Bermuda Diabetes Association and BDA Community Pharmacy, is open to everyone, not just those living with diabetes. Members unlock a range of monthly benefits, including $15 off prescription co-pays, 15% off pharmacy retail goods, and much more.
Francesca Wyatt, Marketing and Community Relations Coordinator at BDA Community Pharmacy, said: “We wanted to celebrate the King’s visit in true Bermudian style – fun, community-driven, and with a touch of royal flair. With a free BDA Membership, every Charles on the island will enjoy royal perks and big pharmacy savings all year long. :
She added, “King Charles, your membership will be ready for collection.”
The spokesperson added, “The BDA Community Pharmacy, operated by the Bermuda Diabetes Association, is open to everyone, not only those living with diabetes. Located at 22 Princess Street, the pharmacy operates as a social enterprise, with proceeds directly supporting community care. In 2025, the pharmacy filled nearly 1,400 prescriptions, valued at over $160,000, at no cost to patients with limited insurance, or no insurance at all.”
Melissa Levy-James, Head Pharmacist at BDA Community Pharmacy, added: “At our pharmacy, we aim to treat our customers like royalty every day. Even if you’re not named Charles, you can still join the BDA Membership for just $40, unlocking a range of savings while supporting our vital community programs. Our monthly ‘$15 off prescription co-pays’ day is especially popular because it applies to every single prescription! Many customers recoup the cost of their membership in just one visit.”
