The Jack Petchey Foundation

“If you think you can, you can!”

Established in 1999, the Jack Petchey Foundation makes grants to programmes and projects that benefit young people aged 11-25. The Foundation exists to raise the aspirations of young people, to help them take advantage of opportunities and play a full part in society. 

Our mission is to enable young people (aged 11 – 25 years in London and Essex), to achieve their potential by inspiring, investing in, developing and promoting activities that increase their personal, social, emotional and physical development.

The geographical focus of our work is London and Essex.

 Since it has been established the Foundation has awarded grants totalling over £100 million!
