Celebrating our fantastic juniors and our outstanding leaders

On Monday 16 September, we celebrated six of our juniors receiving their Jack Petchey Foundation Achievement Award at the Queen’s Theatre. Almost 2,000 schools, colleges and youth organisations throughout London and Essex run the scheme, which contributes millions of pounds each year. The scheme is a reward and recognition initiative which enables schools and youth organisations to celebrate the achievements of their young people as well as receive additional funding.

There are many different ways to nominate and select award winners. We use a system that works within our club structure and our young people are at the heart of decision making as they are the ones who nominate their peers.

Our community club has positively benefited from the generosity and inspiration of the Jack Petchey Foundation not just with the provision of resources for all pupils to use, but via the ongoing development of individual children and young people.

We support the JPF’s vision of a world where young people have high aspirations; the opportunity to develop their potential; the chance to be architects of their own future; to play a full part in society and to be valued and recognised for the positive things they achieve.

We congratulate our winners Abigail, Emily, Isaac, Michael B, Michael W and Nickyta. It was also a proud moment for our Glynis Youngs who received a much-deserved Leader Award for her excellent work organising the Awards Presentation Evening for the last three years.
