The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme is a national programme which recognises outstanding young people aged 11-25 across London and Essex. Groups on the scheme get to celebrate the achievements of young people
Jack Petchey Achievement Award winners are young people who have gone above and beyond to achieve – perhaps when others thought they might fail. At the Cougars we recognise players 9 times a year as we are on the Gold award so it is a great way of encouraging our players to play hard but to play fair and focus on being great citizens. We are proud of our association with the Jack Petchey foundation.
“The Achievement Awards are primarily about recognising those who put in the effort and do their best". Sir Jack Petchey CBE
“Winning the Achievement Award not only helped me with my confidence, as it showed to me that I was valued by my peers, but it also showed me that I was able to achieve through my hard work and determination.”
Joseph, aged 18
