Jack Petchey Awards
About the Jack Petchey Foundation
The Jack Petchey Foundation was set up by Sir Jack Petchey CBE to inspire and motivate young people across London and Essex to do their best, reach their full potential and to recognise their achievements.
Since 1999, over £180 million has been invested in programmes to benefit young people aged 11-25 across London and Essex.
The Jack Petchey Foundation supports many programmes, from sport to science, art to internships, vlogging to volunteering. We encourage every young person to get involved and try something new.
RGA are part of their major programme; the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme, run in almost 1,500 youth clubs, youth organisations and secondary schools across London and Essex.

Achievement Awards at the RGA
RGA participates in Achievement 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.
In consultation with RGA members and coaches, a “wish list” is drawn up of how the monthly award of £300 could be spent. The award winner is presented with a framed certificate, pin badge and a motivational letter. RGA receives £300 which can buy any item from the “wish list”. A young person may receive the award only once during their time with RGA.
Benefits of taking part in the Achievement Awards include:
- 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.
