Charity joins campaign to help keep British tourists safe after Wednesbury family deaths
A West Midlands charity has become an official partner of a Government campaign which gives British tourists the information they need to help them have a safe trip abroad.
Smile For Joel has long campaigned for holidaymakers to be made aware of potential risks when travelling abroad and now carries a whole host of advice, information and links on its website for travellers to easily access.
The charity was set up following the terrorist attack in Tunisia in June 2015, when 38 tourists were killed.
Among the victims were Joel Richards, aged 19 from Wednesbury, his uncle Adrian and grandfather Pat.
Joel’s younger brother Owen survived the attack and he and his mother Suzy Evans set up the charity to support other families torn apart by murder and violence.
Suzy is also passionate about raising awareness of how people can stay safe when they travel overseas.
Now, Smile For Joel has officially partnered with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s Travel Aware campaign.
