JOA Director Simon Boas

It is with profound sadness, as Chair of Jersey Overseas Aid (JOA), that I announce the death of the Executive Director, Simon Boas, following his courageous battle with cancer. Simon was an inspiration and larger-than-life character who impacted thousands of lives here in Jersey as well as millions around the world.

Simon passed away peacefully in Jersey today, surrounded by his family. Our hearts go out to Simon’s wife Aurelie, his parents Tony and Sarah, and his sister Julia during this time of profound loss.
