Details

The GSK IMPACT Awards provide funding and training and development for charities doing excellent work to improve people's health and wellbeing. They are funded by GSK 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. This year is the 30th anniversary of the awards, and to mark this milestone we have increased the funding winners receive from £40,000 to £50,000.

The GSK IMPACT Awards are judged by a prestigious panel of judges and provide national recognition for the winning charities.

GSK and The King’s Fund encourage organisations to apply that are led by and support people from under-represented backgrounds, people from ethnic minority communities, people with disabilities and people from the LGBTQ+ community. We want people to bring their unique blend of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives and knowledge as we recognise that diversity makes us stronger.
