A new award programme has been launched through The King’s Fund, designed to help small charities in the UK who are working to support the least privileged and more diverse communities in the UK.
Funded by pharmaceutical company
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), and managed by
The King’s Fund, the
GSK Grow Programme is designed to support those who want to develop their charities, as well as those charities that may be finding it challenging to access funding to support the health and wellbeing of their communities, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The King’s Fund states successful charities will receive
£10,000 in unrestricted funding from GSK to
help with the day to day running of their organisation. They would also gain access to a
from The King’s Fund leadership programme (worth
a further £3,200) to support charities to realise the ambitions for their organisation.
The funders are particularly interested to hear from organisations led by and supporting people that:
- Are from underrepresented backgrounds,
- From ethnic minority communities
- With disabilities, and
- From the LGBTQ+ community.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on Monday 20th September 2021.
