The King's Fund is an independent think tank, which is involved with work relating to the health system in England. It organises conferences[1] and other events.[2]

Since 1997, they have jointly funded a yearly award system with GlaxoSmithKline. They reward small to medium-sized health charities who are improving people's health.[3]

The Chief Executive is currently Sarah Woolnough, who was previously the Chief Executive of Asthma + Lung UK.[4] She took up the position in December 2023.

Before 1948 the body contributed significantly to London's voluntary hospitals.
