Legacy fund set up for father and son crash victims

A fund has been set up in memory of a father and son who died after being hit by a vehicle when walking home.

The family of Dean, 48, and Charlie Lowe, 11, said two charity events had raised more than GBP53,000 since their deaths in August, and the Jersey Community Foundation (JCF) would now manage the funds.

The grant-giving charity said the Lowe Legacy Fund would “promote accessibility to the arts and music”, as well as support disadvantaged communities in Jersey.

Ashleigh, Dean’s fiancee and Charlie’s mother, said the family had been “overwhelmed” by the public support.
