GSK IMPACT Awards

For charities with income between £150,000 and £3 million

The GSK IMPACT Awards provide funding, training and development for charities doing excellent work to improve people’s health and wellbeing. 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. Up to 15 awards will be made, ranging from £5,000 to £50,000. In addition, the training and development is valued at a further £13,500. Organisations will have a film made and be given a set of promotional materials. They will also receive help with press and publicity and pro bono offers from GSK.
