The GlaxoSmithKline IMPACT Awards have been running since 1997 and are designed to recognise and reward charities that are doing excellent work to improve people's health.

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

An overall winner will receive £35,000, nine other winners receive £25,000 and up to ten organisations that are highly commended or runners up receive £5,000 or £3,000

You do not need to present a new project. The awards are designed to recognise success and achievements for existing work

You decide how to use the award money

Organisations that win or are highly commended for an IMPACT Award will be offered free training valued at £4,000 for each organisation. Find out more about the IMPACT Awards Development Network

Winners will be given a range of resources to help promote their work (such as professional photographs, films, banners and brochures).

The deadline for applications is 24 September 2010. For more information, or to access an online application form, visit the IMPACT Awards website here.
