The WellChild Awards, in association with GSK, celebrate the inspirational qualities of the UK’s seriously ill children and young people along with the dedicated professionals who go that extra mile to make a difference to their lives.
There are six categories open for nominations in the WellChild Awards 2017, each category sponsored by a company or organisation. These Awards can really have a positive impact on the winners, their families and those who provide support. Categories are as follows:
