Deadline: 20-Sep-21
The GSK Grow Programme is open to registered charities that are at least a year old, working in a health-related field in the UK.
The King’s Fund recognises the challenges that smaller charities can have accessing funding to support the health and wellbeing of their communities.
They also know that many of the people leading these charities have been working under huge pressure, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The King’s Fund will be looking for evidence of:
- how you improve the health and wellbeing of your community
- robust management and governance processes
- financial stability and sustainability
- how your organisation has responded to Covid-19
- how you work effectively with your community, including reaching the people who are most vulnerable or disadvantaged, and ensuring people with lived experience lead or help shape your work
- good partnership working – sharing what you know, learning from others and complementing other’s work
- aspirational leaders who want to develop their leadership and their organisation
