Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme

The Jack Petchey Achievement Award scheme was formed to recognise “extreme endeavour and to help young people to help themselves”.  Phoenix swimming club has been successful in applying to be able to make achievement awards its club members under this scheme.  We are now able to award a number of awards to individuals within the club during the year. Awards are not necessarily for the fastest or most popular individuals, but are intended to recognise those young people (aged 11-25) who have demonstrated characteristics such as commitment, hard work, persistence or made a positive contribution to the club and/or other people.  To learn more about the Jack Petchey foundation, visit their website at www.jackpetcheyfoundation.org.uk  

Each award winner will receive a framed certificate and an invitation to a regional award ceremony at which they will be presented with a very nice Jack Petchey medallion.  The winner will also be given a financial award (currently £300) to be used to fund one or more projects from the current club ‘wish list’.

To nominate...
We are always looking for award nominations. Anyone can nominate someone within the club, so please pick up a form from the club desk on Friday night or download it from the link below then hand it into the club desk, a committee member, or

Jack Petchey Leaders Award

Once a year we are entitled to submit a nomination for a Jack Petchey ‘Leaders Award’ for an adult who has been involved with the club for at least two years and has "supported young people in an exceptional way".  Successful winners are awarded £1,000 to spend on a club project of their choice.  The final decision on this award is made by the Jack Petchey foundation.    We are now collecting nominations for 2008.  These can be submitted on the standard Phoenix Jack Petchey nomination form.  Please return these by end May.
