The GlaxoSmithKline in partnership with the King’s Fund is calling applications for the 2016 GSK IMPACT Awards. The GSK IMPACT Awards recognise and reward small to medium sized charities that are doing excellent work to improve people’s health.
GSK IMPACT Awards Includes –
- Up to ten winners will receive £30,000, with one overall winner receiving £40,000
- Up to ten runners-up will receive £3,000
- The awards are designed to recognise success and achievements for existing work so applicants don’t have to present a new project
- Each winning organisation is offered free leadership training and invited to take part in a programme of free development activities
The training programme and Development Network, valued at up to £6,000 for each organisation, is funded by GSK and hosted by The King’s Fund. GSK IMPACT Award winners will be presented with their awards at a high profile ceremony at the Science Museum in London in May 2016.

- Located and registered in the UK.
- Targeting community health needs in the UK. Community can be defined as a geographical community or a community of interest.

How to Apply?
1. Study these guidelines to check that your organisation is eligible to apply for a GSK IMPACT Award and can meet the IMPACT criteria.
2. Complete the online application form available from The King’s Fund’s website (see below)
• In the application form you will be asked to nominate two referees to support your application. The referees will only be contacted if you are shortlisted and they will be asked to complete a two page reference form (the reference form questions can be downloaded from The King’s Fund website). Referees should be independent and should not be a volunteer, current Management Committee member/ Trustee, a family member or in receipt of a grant from your organisation. You can nominate a user of the services provided by your organisation to be one of your referees if you wish. The standing of referees, as well as the amount of detail within their references will be taken into account in the judging.
• Your application cannot be considered unless you also send us your most recent annual report and accounts (this is a different document to your Annual Review which we do not need to see). You can either attach your accounts electronically to the application form, post them, or charities registered in England and Wales can confirm that their most recent accounts are available online at the Charity Commission. This document must be received by the application deadline. Full details on how to send accounts are given in the application form.
