The GSK Community Health Programme

The GSK Community Health programme is open to registered charities that are at least a year old, located and working in the UK with a total annual income between £20,000 and £150,000.  Up to 10 charities will receive up to £10,000, plus access to training and development valued at £5,000.

Organisations led by and supporting the most disadvantaged communities – such as those supporting ethnic minority communities, people with disabilities, people from the LGBTQ+ community, and others – are particularly encouraged to apply for this programme.

The GSK Community Health programme will support aspirational leaders to develop their organisations to tackle health inequalities.  It is designed to run alongside the GSK IMPACT Awards and support the next generation of award winners.

The charities offered funding will be invited to attend an online leadership programme.  Up to 10 places are available, valued at £5,000 a place.  The programme will be delivered by The King’s Fund and provide participants with the opportunity to develop their capability and confidence to lead both operationally and strategically.  Taking part in the programme will require time and commitment, and it may not be right for everyone.

The leadership programme is designed to help leaders of small charities build the confidence, skills and relationships needed to lead effectively in challenging contexts.  It will support participants to strengthen their leadership practice, build resilience, lead people and partnerships well, and take a more strategic and sustainable approach to increasing their organisation’s impact. Participants will be expected to bring openness, curiosity and a willingness to challenge their thinking, reflect on and develop their leadership practice, and collaborate with others to build a supportive learning community.  In return, they will gain practical tools, fresh perspectives and the support of a trusted peer learning community.
