Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme
Jack Petchey Achievement Award winners are young people who have gone above and beyond to achieve – perhaps when others thought they might fail.
“The Achievement Awards are primarily about recognising those who put in the effort and do their best.
Sir Jack Petchey CBE”
Each year, the foundation recognise 14,000 Achievement Award winners and invest £3.5m through the Achievement Awards Scheme.
Awards mean different things to different people. The Achievement Awards are not solely for academic achievement – they may be used to recognise a personal triumph for someone who has faced a challenge, a young person who has pushed themselves outside of their comfort zone or it may be an opportunity to recognise the outstanding efforts of a team player.
A young person is nominated by their peers in their school of youth organisation. An important part of the scheme is the involvement of young people in selecting the award winners for their hard work and efforts. We want young people to recognise and celebrate the success of their peers.
Each award winner will receive a certificate and pin badge. They will also choose how to spend a £250 grant to benefit their school and organisation. All award winners are invited to attend one of our fun ceremonies to be presented with a medallion in front of their families, friends and VIP’s.
