Jack Petchey Foundation Awards
The Jack Petchey
Foundation achievement award scheme
RGA is delighted to
announce participation in this award scheme for young people aged 11 to 25 years
old.
Each month a young person
is chosen to receive the award in recognition of hard work, endeavour or a
contribution to the club which will help others.
RGA members, coaches and
parents can complete nomination forms to help choose the winner.
The award winner is
presented with a framed certificate, a pin badge and a substitute cheque for
£300 which can buy any item from the “wish list”
In consultation with RGA
members and coaches, a “wish list” is drawn up of how the monthly award of £300
could be spent.
This scheme brings the
following benefits:
-
RGA can recognise the
effort, endeavour and achievement of young people in a new practical and
positive way
-
The scheme provides useful
additional funds for RGA
Each winner will be
announced on the JPF notice board and the RGA web site with a photograph, the
reason for his/her nomination and details of how the award money is to be spent.
A young person may receive
the award only once during their time with RGA.
Please help us by making
nominations using the form by the third week of any month.

Any proposed items to be
added to the “wish list” can be left at the RGA office marked JACK PETCHLEY

appropriate. Alternatively add your suggestions to the list on the notice board
in the gym.

The Jack Petchey Foundation
The Jack
Petchey Foundation was established by the successful East London
entrepreneur, Jack Petchey, in 1999. It is a young, progressive grant making
Trust based in Ilford Essex. It is now among the largest and most
influential London charitable foundations. It focuses on projects and
programmes that benefit 11-25 year olds. The main area of operation is the
London boroughs and Essex, where it currently operates in 1600 secondary
schools and youth clubs. There are smaller programmes elsewhere.
The grant
budget for 2008 is over £20 million, with over £60 million having been given
since 1999.
In addition to
more traditional grant making functions, JPF plans to continue to introduce
and develop new, far reaching programmes that benefit young people such as "Petchey's
Speak Out Challenge", which is probably the largest youth speaking
programme in the world.
