‘Inspirational’ Jersey aid worker Simon Boas dies aged 47

“Simon was an inspiration and larger-than-life character who impacted thousands of lives here in Jersey, as well as millions around the world,” Ms Labey said.

Mr Boas was a director with JOA for eight years, joining the agency after a career in international development with a focus on the Middle East.

JOA said that, during his time with it, Mr Boas helped transform the agency into the “agile and respected international aid agency it is today”.

Away from JOA, Mr Boas chaired the Jersey Heritage Trust, served with the Trinity Honorary Police and worked with the Samaritans.
