JACK PETCHEY AWARD SCHEME
Runnymede S.C is delighted with the recent good
news confirming that they have been accepted on to The Jack Petchey Achievement
Gold Award Scheme; one of the successful grant schemes run by the Jack Petchey
Foundation which helps youth organisation in this area.
The scheme is currently being operated in over
1000 schools and clubs and it enables participating organisations to
acknowledge the effort, endeavour and achievements of their youth members in a
positive and practical way. The Club selects one swimmer per month who they
feel is deserving to receive an Achievement Award which comprises of a framed
certificate and a sum of money (payable to the Club) to be spent on something
that will be benefit the Club. The recipient of each monthly award also has an
input as to their award is sent by selecting off a ‘wish list’ which the club
are currently creating.
All the award winners throughout the year also
attend an annual Presentation Ceremony where they receive a boxed medallion.
Alongside the monthly award the Club is able to
nominate, once it has been operating its scheme for a period of six months; an
adult helper for an annual award. This excellent scheme will provide the Club
with some very useful additional funds to the value of £ 3,400 per year.
