2014 GSK IMPACT Awards - deadline for applications 20 September

The GSK IMPACT Awards provide core funding, training and national recognition for charities working in health care. Up to 20 awards will be made ranging from £3,000 to £40,000. If you apply for a GSK IMPACT Award you do not need to present a new project as the application focuses on what you have already achieved. To be eligible you must have been operating for at least three years, have income between £25,000 and £2 million and be working in a health related field in the UK.

Winning organisations will have a professional film made, receive support with press and publicity and will be given a set of promotional materials. They will also be offered two places on the GSK IMPACT Awards training programme. In 2014 there will be three days of training leading up to the high profile GSK IMPACT Awards ceremony at the Science Museum. After this participants will be invited to join the wider GSK IMPACT Awards Network. This connects past award winners both online and at meetings held across the UK, to get and give support, share best practice and continue their professional development.

The training and development is valued at £4,000 for each organisation. Many participants have commented that the training, the new ideas and enthusiasm that they take away, and the connections made with the wider group of GSK IMPACT Award winners, is even more important than the award money.
