'Established in 1999, The Jack Petchey Foundation gives grants to programmes and projects that benefit young people aged 11-25. The Foundation is eager to help young people take advantage of opportunities and play a full part in society. The major focus of our work is the Achievement Award Scheme. The Foundation focuses on London and Essex. Since it has been established the Foundation has awarded grants totalling over £65million.
The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme is our flagship programme. It is run in almost 2,000 schools, colleges and youth organisations throughout London and Essex, contributing millions of pounds each year. The scheme is 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. The young person chooses how their £200 award money is to be spent within the organisation.'

This term's Jack Petchey Achievement Award went to heat&light regular Ed Davis. Ed not only acts but also sound designs for many of the performances, and has been involved with the company from a young age.
He has decided the £200 will go towards the set budget for this term. Well done and thank you, Ed!
