Submitted by Lindsay Peniston on Wed, 07/13/2011 - 09:25

The IMPACT Awards recognise and reward charities that are doing excellent work to improve people’s health. They are funded by GlaxoSmithKline and managed in partnership with The King’s Fund.

The awards are open to registered charities that are at least three years old, working in a health-related field in the UK, with a total annual income between £10,000 and £1.5 million. Deadline: Friday 23 September 2011.

  • Up to eight winners will receive £25,000.
  • Up to four highly commended awards of £5,000 and up to three runners-up awards of £3,000 will be made.
  • You decide how to use the award money.
  • Organisations that win or are highly commended for an award will be invited to send up to two representatives to take part in the GSK IMPACT Awards Development Network, a free training programme valued at £4,000 for each organisation.
  • The awards are designed to recognise success and achievements for existing work so you do not have to present a new project.
  • The winning organisations will be visited by a photographer, have a professional film made and will receive support with press and publicity.

An overall winner will be chosen from either the IMPACT Awards or the IMPACT Champions who will receive an additional £10,000.
