JACK PETCHEY AWARDS The Jack Petchey Awards were introduced to HRA a few years ago. 9 Awards are awarded each year with the Award Recipients being granted £250 to pay for something ‘extra’ to

benefit others within the organisation. Each Ranger can vote for the young person who they feel deserves recognition. This is a really exciting award as it is Rangers voting for their peers.

And our congratulations go to the following 9 winners………Jack Petchey Award Winners:
