Jack Petchey was born in the East End of London in July 1925. London. From a background with very few advantages he became a prominent businessman and property developer.

In 1945, at the end of the Second World War, Jack Petchey left the navy and became a clerk. He was told by the personnel officer: “You’ll never make a businessman”. However this discouraging remark did not prevent him from becoming one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Britain!

Although many charitable projects have been supported in recent years, a Charitable Foundation was formed in 1999 to support projects in East London and West Essex. The Achievement Award Scheme enables recognition of the effort, endeavour and achievment of young people in a practical and positive way.

Each season six of our club members are chosen by its members to receive an Award. The winner receives a framed certificate and a cheque (payable to the club) to be spent on a club, or community project, of the recipients choice.

Since 2003 we have been fortunate in having Jack Petchey support our club in recognising the work that has been carried out by our leaders, members & volunteers .
