The Jack Petchey Foundation was established in 1999 and exists to raise the aspirations of young people.
Grants are award to projects that benefit young people aged 11-25 and the Foundation has contributed £1.5m of matched funding towards the building costs of Future Youth Zone, Barking and Dagenham.
We recently caught up with Sir Jack Petchey CBE as he supports the first Youth Zone set to open in the capital – Future – Barking and Dagenham Youth Zone.
