The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme is the flagship programme of the Jack Petchey Foundation and currently operates across 2000 different schools, groups and organisations within London and Essex. The scheme contributes millions of pounds each year and has donated over £100million to support youth programmes. Its aim is to enable schools, clubs etc to recognise, reward and celebrate the achievements of their young people. Jack Petchey, CBE, wants young people to raise their aspirations, believe in themselves and make a contribution to their society.
Chelmsford AC has been awarded Silver status which means:
- 6 nominations per year
- 2 nominations in Sept - Nov (reporting deadline 30 Nov)
- 4 in January - June (reporting deadline 30 June)
Who should be nominated:
These awards are NOT about being the “best”, they are about “doing your best”. They should recognise those special young people in our club, who perhaps:
- Frequently help others
- Are good role models
- Cope with adversity
- Carry out community work
- Provide service within the community
- …or maybe just try really hard!
Nominating and selecting a Winner
The nomination process primarily involves the young people themselves. When asked by the JP co-ordinator (Steve Mitchell) the eligible athletes will vote for their choice. The process can be managed by the lead coach if a group has been asked to nominate a winner.
When making a vote it should include the rationale behind the selection. After all votes have been cast or a due date reached, the votes will be counted and the winner confirmed.
Nominees must be aged 11-25 and can only receive the award ONCE during their time in the organisation. Please see below a list of previous winners.
Presenting the Winner
Winners of JP awards will be presented with their certificate, pin badge, membership card and congratulations leaflet in front of their peers perhaps during a special session
Spending the Award
The winner decides how the £300 is spent. The money must NOT go towards standard running costs and must be used for the benefit of a group of young people and NOT for an individual. It must not be spent on alcohol.
Celebrating the Award Winner
We will publicise winners on our notice board, in newsletters, on our website, and social media etc.
Presentation Evening
All winners are entitled to attend a prestigious Regional (Clubs) or Borough (schools) medallion event every year.
The JP events team arrange these fantastic events with great entertainment and special guests.
