Derry Well Women is proud of the work we do because of the results we achieve for women in this region….so it is a huge bonus for us to have this work receive outside recognition.

Our work has attracted awards as follows:

GSK Community Health Impact Award

In 2000 & 2009, Derry Well Women won the GSK Community Health Impact Award, awarded by The King’s Fund, which recognises and rewards the work of small to medium sized charities working to improve the health of their communities. We won the sum of £25,000 as part of this award which our manager Susan Gibson, described as “an incredible amount to everyone here. It is a wonderful validation for DWW, providing much-needed unrestricted funds, which we will invest in our important childcare and mother and baby services, an area we find difficult to get funding for.” The King’s Fund Information and Library Service is a free unique source of information on health and social care policy and is staffed by a team of expert information specialists. www.kingsfund.org.uk/library
