OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
Details of the charity's purpose, key objectives and aims: |
JackTheLad Foundation Ltd., also known by the abbreviated form #JackTheLad, campaigns for safer holidays for young people in the UK. It aims both to draw attention to and to mitigate the risks young people face on holiday. |
The charity also provides grants to help bereaved families with the cost of repatriation, where a fatal accident has occurred and repatriation costs are not covered by insurance. |
The idea for the charity came from the family of Jack Howe, who died on 21 June 2019 in a Quad Bike (ATV) accident on Zante, Greece. |
#JackTheLad's Charitable Objects are: |
1. The advancement of health and saving of lives of young people by raising awareness of the risks that can be attached |
to some overseas holidays and by highlighting poor regulation and irresponsible practices for such overseas holidays and |
campaigning for improvements. |
2. The relief of financial hardship of the next of kin of young people who have died whilst on holiday overseas by assisting with the repatriation of the young person. |
Significant activities |
There were no significant charity fundraising events organised by ourselves over this period. |
There was continuation of development of our FCDO Partnership: regular meetings and social media posting around TravelAware initiatives. |
Continuation of the provision of Repatriation Grants to qualifying families. |
Public benefit |
Public benefit is achieved by raising funds and raising awareness through education and partnerships. |

2. | the accounts do not accord with those records; or |
3. | the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or |
