Sponsorship

The Jack Petchey Foundation will consider sponsoring young people (usually 11-25 years old) living in areas of London and Essex who are undertaking projects, or participating in events, that will benefit other young people or specific charities.

The Foundation also offers Youth Kit Sponsorship. Please scroll down for guidelines and an application form.

 Before completing the sponsorship  form, please check the following points:

1. Do you live in the Foundation's area?(currently London and Essex)
2. Does the project benefit other young people (charity/school/ community project?)
3. Will each applicant raise at least half of the total cost?
4. Brief details and, where appropriate, a budget for the project should be attached to the sponsorship form.
5. The attached form should be carefully completed by the young person concerned (not the adult leader or parent) and endorsed by the adult leader for the relevant organisation, club, school.
6. If a group is applying for sponsorship, the group sponsorship form should be submitted together with a covering note from the Leader or Teacher

The normal individual support from the Foundation will be up to £300 per person.
