The 2027 GSK IMPACT Awards, in partnership with The Kings Fund, awards grants of up to £50,000 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 £150,000 and £3 million. 

In addition to funding, prize winners will receive training and development opportunities valued at a further £13,500. Organisations will also have a film made, receive help with press and publicity, and be given a set of promotional materials.

Applicants must be registered charities with a proven track record of targeting community health needs in the UK. Community can be defined as a geographical community or a community of interest.

The GSK IMPACT Awards recognise excellence in existing work. They do not seek to fund new projects, and applications which only focus on a particular project will not be shortlisted. The assessment is based on the work of the whole organisation and the assessment will focus on excellence in the six areas of IMPACT:

• Innovation
  • leadership, creativity and initiative in addressing current challenges in health care access and delivery.
    
    
    
• Management
  • efficient use of resources;
  • quality of management processes;
  • diversity and inclusion;
  • clear objectives and plans;
  • financial effectiveness of the organisation.
    
    
    
• Partnership
  • working effectively with others (the community, voluntary, private and public sector partners etc);
  • willingness to share ‘best practice’ and to learn from others.
    
    
    
• Achievement
  • Scale and impact of work relative to the size of the organisation;
  • impact on access to healthcare;
  • a reflective approach to evaluation;
  • measurement and monitoring of performance;
  • being able to report on outcomes and impact.
    
    
    
• Community Focus
  • involving and responding to people and communities;
  • adaptability to changing circumstances and needs;
  • working with others to improve services for the community.
    
    
    
• Targeting Need
  • awareness of community issues and priorities;
  • having a detailed understanding of the community the organisation serves;
  • ensuring services are accessible to all, including people who experience the most disadvantage or marginalisation.
