The GSK IMPACT Awards are designed to recognise and reward charities that are doing excellent work to improve people’s health. They are funded by GlaxoSmithKline and managed in partnership with The King’s Fund.
The awards are open to registered charities that are at least three years old, working in a health-related field in the UK, with a total annual income between £25,000 and £2 million.
Benefits of winning a GSK IMPACT Award
Funding
• up to ten winners will receive £30,000 plus the overall winner will receive an extra £10,000
• up to ten runners-up will receive £3,000
• you do not need to present a new project, and you decide how to spend the award money
• award winners will be offered free training and development valued at up to £6,000
Free training
Award winners will be offered two free places on the GSK IMPACT Awards Development Programme. They will then be invited to join the GSK IMPACT Awards Network, which connects past GSK IMPACT Award winners, both online and at meetings held across the UK, allowing them to get and give support, share best practice and continue their professional development.
Publicity, films and national recognition
The awards provide organisations with an important quality mark. Winning organisations will be visited by a photographer, have a professional film made about their work and will receive support with press and publicity.
The GSK IMPACT winners will be presented with their awards at a high profile ceremony at the Science Museum in London in May 2015. With up to 400 guests in attendance, it provides an excellent opportunity to showcase work and raise profile
