The GlaxoSmithKline IMPACT Awards, which recognise and reward charities that are
doing excellent work to improve people’s health, are now open for entries. They 
offer £35,000 to an overall winner, £25,000 to nine other winners, and £5,000 or
£3,000 to up to ten organisations that are highly commended or runners up.

Unusually, and attractively for charities, the winners decide how to use the award
money. The prizes are unrestricted income, so you do not need to enter a particular
or new project to qualify. Organisers GlaxoSmithKline and The King’s Fund say that“
the awards are designed to recognise success and achievements for existing work”.

The awards are open to registered charities that are at least three years old, working
in a health-related field in the UK, and have a total annual income of between £
10,000 and £1.5 million.
