In Canada, we are committed to supporting charitable causes and organizations in the communities in which we operate, as well as continuing our long-standing legacy of involvement in hospice palliative care. In addition, we continue to support GSK’s Global partnership with Save the Children with the goal of saving the lives of a million of the poorest children in the world. By focusing GSK in Canada's charitable contributions, we hope to create a significant impact and make a positive difference in the lives of Canadians and those in need around the world.

We are proud to have established grant commitments with the following charitable/not-for-profit organizations, providing funding to support their programs and initiatives.

Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association

GSK remains committed to the continued evolution of the hospice palliative care movement in Canada and is proud to provide funding through 2024 to support CHPCA’s efforts. We believe that all Canadians have the right to die with dignity, free of pain, surrounded by loved ones in the setting of their choice. We continue to be supportive of the creation of a public policy environment that recognizes and supports quality end-of-life care as a key component of Canada's healthcare system.
