Ambitious about Autism reposted this
Jack Petchey was a champion of youth voice and the importance of celebrating the achievements of young people, including those on the Envision Programme. Through the Jack Petchey Achievement Award, many our young people had the opportunity to share and recognise their peers' accomplishments, from their role and leadership in bringing their team together, to inspiring others through their determination to push themselves out of their comfort zone. He will be missed but he leaves behind an incredible legacy ✨
We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Sir Jack Petchey. We are so grateful for his longstanding support via the Jack Petchey Foundation which has enabled us to support hundreds of autistic children and young people through the Jack Petchey Award. His passion and spirit will be deeply missed but we know it will help thousands of young people to reach their potential for many years to come. What an incredible legacy. May you rest in peace Sir Jack. #JackPetchey #JackPetcheyAward #autism
