We are delighted to be involved in the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme.
The legendary Sir Jack Petchey CBE (1925-2024) set up the Foundation to reward and celebrate outstanding young people aged 11-25 across London and Essex, and inspire them to work hard and reach their full potential.
“The Achievement Awards are primarily about recognising those who put in the effort and do their best.” Sir Jack Petchey CBE
Many more details can be found on their website: Achievement Award Scheme | Jack Petchey Foundation
In 2025 Oscar Underwood received a JP award and also successfully reached Level 1 in coaching.
In December 2025, Martin Rossin was successful in achieving a JP Leader Award, which means we are now able to apply for a grant of up to £1,000 for a project benefitting young people at the tennis club, aged 11-25.
Congratulations to both!
In January 2026 it was confirmed that we are now in the Achievement award scheme for the period January to June 2026.
We have been awarded "Bronze" status, which means we can recognise two junior achievers as award winners who will each receive £300, and who will then be involved in choosing how the funds are spent on a specific project to benefit young people at the tennis club.
We will be asking junior members and their parents to vote for their chosen candidate or candidates.
The Club would really like to put something back and reward the young people that have been so committed in their own tennis and in helping others by volunteering and assisting at coaching sessions. To assist the ever-growing junior coaching programme we are proposing to send three 16 year olds on Level 1 coaching. This is a 2-day course and will enable them to develop and grow not only in their tennis but personally as well.
Our award winners will also receive a congratulations letter, winner certificate and frame, achiever pin badge and a Jack Petchey booklet.
All award winners are invited to attend one of the Jack Petchey fun ceremonies to be presented with a medallion in front of their families, friends and VIPs.
