Deadline: 1-Sep-22
The 2023 GSK IMPACT Awards are open to registered charities that are at least three years old, working in a health-related field in the UK.
The GSK IMPACT Awards are an annual programme, funded by GSK as part of the company’s commitment to promote community health and wellbeing.
The awards have been running since 1997, and are managed in partnership with The King’s Fund, a leading independent health charity working to improve health and care. The GSK IMPACT Awards recognise and reward charities that are doing excellent work to improve people’s health and wellbeing.
Award Information
- Up to ten winners receive £40,000, in unrestricted funding with the overall winner receiving an additional £10,000.
- Up to five runners-up receive £4,000 in unrestricted funding.
- Award winners are offered free training and development valued at an average of £9,500 for each organisation.
- You do not need to present a new project, and you decide how to spend the award money.
Free training and development
- Award winners are offered two free places on the GSK IMPACT Awards Development Programme. They are also invited to join the GSK IMPACT Awards Network, which connects past GSK IMPACT Award winners, both online and at meetings, allowing them to get and give support, share best practice and continue their professional development.
- The awards provide organizations with an important quality mark. Winning organizations are visited by a photographer, have a professional film made about their work and receive support with press and publicity.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must be:
- A registered charity. They will ask for your charity registration number at the start of your application and may ask for a copy of the charity's constitution to confirm this. Community Interest Companies, or any other organizations that are not registered charities are not eligible to apply.
- 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.

- GSK and The King's Fund actively encourage organizations to apply who are led by and support people from underrepresented backgrounds, people from ethnic minority communities, those with disabilities and from the LGBTQ+ community. They want people to bring their unique blend of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives and knowledge as they recognize that diversity makes them stronger.
