Added: (Tue Jul 03 2001)
Small and medium-sized health charities pioneering changes in their communities have the chance to receive a share of more than £250,000 in the GlaxoSmithKline Community Health IMPACT Awards launched on 2 July.
Awards of £25,000 each are given to ten health-related voluntary organisations with annual incomes of £500,000 or less that can demonstrate innovation, good management skills, partnership, achievement, community focus and ability to target needs. Ten runners-up will receive £1,000. The award money can be used for any aspect of running the charity.
GlaxoSmithKline’s Community Partnership Director, Margaret Bailey, says: “The IMPACT Awards continue to go from strength to strength. GlaxoSmithKline is dedicated to paying tribute to the commitment of these charities who consistently make a difference to people’s lives despite modest resources.”
