The numbers matter because the people behind them mattered first.
I'm Possible has directly supported over 100 young people since its founding. Each one a person who had previously been unable to speak - who found in an I'm Possible conversation the first space in which they felt safe enough to try.
The Jack Petchey Achievement Award.
In 2026, Abishek won the Jack Petchey Achievement Award by a landslide - selected from nearly 800 eligible students at a rate of just 0.8%. He was not recognised for academic achievement. He was recognised for the tangible, witnessed impact of I'm Possible on the mental health and lives of the students around him. The £300 grant was directed entirely back into school mental health facilities - because the recognition was never the point. The work is the point.
"The Jack Petchey Foundation has invested over £140 million in young people across London and Essex. Its Achievement Award is not selected by panels - it is selected by the community itself. By the people who witnessed the impact first-hand."
Recognition beyond the school.
Abishek was one of only 20 young changemakers globally invited to the Transforming Global Education Summit at UN ECOSOC Headquarters in New York. He was invited by the United Nations Secretariat to the Geneva Sustainable Management Workshop at the Palais des Nations. He presented at the House of Lords. He appeared on S4C and BBC News. As an Aspire Fellow, he is the sole recipient of a full-ride $3,000 scholarship from 20,000 global applicants.
