The Jack Petchey Foundation was set up by Sir Jack Petchey CBE to inspire, motivate, recognise and celebrate young people for their achievements. Since 1999, over £133 million has been invested in programmes to benefit young people aged 11-25 across London and Essex.
The winners are young people who have gone above and beyond to achieve. The Jack Petchey Foundation draws on the saying "If you think you can, you can!"
A young person is nominated by their peers or staff in their school. Each award winner will receive a certificate, pin badge and a book from Sir Jack himself. They will also choose how to spend a £300 grant to benefit their school or 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 VIPs. You can nominate a student or adult via the school website.
