Jack Petchey Awards

The Jack Petchey Foundation was established by the successful East London entrepreneur, Jack Petchey, in 1999. It is a young, progressive grant making Trust based in 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.  The main area of operation is the London boroughs and Essex, where it currently operates in 1600 secondary schools and clubs. The Foundation has given over £60 million since 1999.

GP&R CC selects twelve young people a year to receive an Jack Petchey Achievement Award. The winners receive a framed certificate and a cheque for £300 (payable to the club) to be spent on a club project of the recipient’s choice.

In addition the club presents an annual Leader Award worth £1000 for a club project to an adult who has demonstrated, in an outstanding way, an ability to encourage and motivate our young cricketers.

Gidea Park & Romford CC is grateful for the Foundation's continued support, find out more about the Jack Petchey Foundation here.
