The winners are young people who have gone above and beyond to achieve. The Jack Petchey Foundation draws on the saying "If you think you can, you can!"
A young person is nominated by their peers or staff in their school. Each award winner will receive a certificate, pin badge and a book from Sir Jack himself. They will also choose how to spend a £300 grant to benefit their school or organisation.
