GSK Irvine announced that applications for their 2021 community awards are open to registered non-profit charities and organisations to apply for a share in £10,000.

This year three successful applicants, including charities and organisations dedicated to improving the local Ayrshire community to help people to do more, feel better and live longer, will receive between £2,000 - £5,000.

Site Director of the GSK Irvine antibiotics site, Cammy Mitchell said: “The annual local Community Awards is an opportunity for us to recognise organisations committed to improving our local community and the lives of people who live in Ayrshire. It’s really humbling to see the magnificent work and commitment within the community from a wide range of organisations.

“Last year, we were delighted with the number of applicants from organisations to our awards. When we assess the applications, we look at how the funding will be used and consider both the number of beneficiaries as well as the impact the organisation has on their clients’ lives. We also consider any funding that we have granted in the past.”

Through their award scheme, GSK were able to make a real impact to three diverse charities and organisations. The winners were:

Gold Winner: Ayrshire Hospice

Silver Winner: Children 1st

Bronze Winner: Fullarton Community Association
