The club is pleased to announce that we have been accepted onto the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme.
The Achievement Award Scheme aims to enable schools, colleges and youth organisations to recognise, reward and celebrate the achievements of their young people. Jack Petchey wants young people to raise their aspirations, believe in themselves and make a contribution to their society.
Achievement Awards are designed to recognise a wide range of achievement. It is not just about being clever, or gifted, but about putting the effort in and doing your best. The scheme works well because young people themselves are involved in nominating and selecting the winners.
Each award winner is voted for by their own peers. Members of the club between the ages of 11 and 25 years old are eligible to vote and be voted for.
The club has been accepted onto the Bronze Award scheme where three £200 awards are voted on each year.
The winner of each award receives a framed certificate and pin badge, and they can chose how the £200 is spent to benefit the club. Award winners are also invited to an annual awards ceremony.
The club will be publishing the names of all the award winners on a Jack Petchey page on the club website.
The first award is due to given by the end of June so we will be contacting all young people at the club over the next couple of weeks for their vote for our first winner.
