THE HOWE FAMILY

We started JackTheLad Foundation in memory of our son and  brother Jack, after losing him in an accident in 2019.

Jack was full of life, laughter, and kindness, and everything we do is about keeping that spirit alive. Through JackTheLad, we celebrate Jack’s life and incredible energy by campaigning for Safer Holidays For Young Brits.

We also support other families facing the pain we went through ourselves, with grants to assist with repatriation costs, after a young person meets with a fatal accident overseas, when families find that insurance does not cover this.

Steph Howe
CEO

I’m Jack’s mum and one of the founders of Jack the Lad Charity.

After losing Jack in an accident, we put all our love into creating the charity in his name. We support families going through similar heartbreak by helping with repatriation, while also working to educate young people and promote safety — in the hope that no other family has to experience this loss.

I chair the Management Team and our Board Of Trustees.

Hannah Howe
Fundraising & Events Director

Hi, I’m Hannah, Jack’s older sister and one of the founders of JackTheLad.

After losing Jack, we wanted to create something meaningful to keep his legacy alive and support other families who have sadly lost a loved one.

Through the charity, we’ve been able to do just that, supporting incredible families and sharing Jack’s story to also raise awareness to be safe. Within the charity, I look after event planning and social media.
