2016 GSK IMPACT Awards - funding for health charities - deadline 25 September

The GSK IMPACT Awards provide core funding, training and national recognition for charities that are doing excellent work to improve people’s health. Up to 20 awards will be made ranging from £3,000 to £40,000. 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, be a registered charity, 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 2016 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 up to £6,000 for each organisation.

One of our 2015 winners was WAVE Trauma Centre based in Belfast, offering care and support to anyone bereaved, injured or traumatised through the violence in Northern Ireland. View their film http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/audio-video/2015-gsk-impact-awards-wave-trauma-centre
