for the year ended 30 September 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2025.

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

Over the period the following key activities and initiatives took place:

Continuation of discussions with potential travel industry partners.

Initial steps to develop our ambassador programme of representation in colleges and universities to promote peer-to-peer influencing on issues to do with safe and sensible travel.

Continuation of development of our FCDO Partnership: regular meetings and social media posting around the Foreign & Commonwealth Development Office's Travel Aware initiative.

Public benefit

Public benefit is achieved by raising funds and raising awareness through education and partnerships.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of JACKTHELAD FOUNDATION LIMITED ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. | accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

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

4. | the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
