The Jack Petchey Foundation was established in 1999 by the successful East London entrepreneur, Jack Petchey. 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.  Jack Petchey wants the Achievement Awards scheme to recognise “extreme endeavour and to help people to help themselves”.

​

The Jack Petchey Foundation's flagship programme is its Achievement Award scheme – 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.​

 

How it works:

Each month, through a nomination and voting process, we will select one young person to receive an Achievement Award.

​

Each winner receives a framed certificate, badge and £250 which is to be spent for the benefit of the league (based on a wish list which is created by the players, managers and officials of the league).

​

Cheques, frames, certificates etc. are provided by the Jack Petchey Foundation.

A young person or adult must not receive more than one award during their time at SLL. The award should be given to ONE person.  It  cannot be a joint or group award.
