Missing People
Someone is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK.
That means life is lonely, scary and uncertain for 160,000 families every year.
Right now, people are searching for children, fearing for their safety. Searching for mums, dads, siblings, grandparents, friends and colleagues, suddenly feeling very vulnerable.
Missing People is the only UK charity whose mission is to provide a lifeline when someone disappears. A charity dedicated to supporting, and campaigning with, missing children and adults, and their loved ones, for as long as it takes. And no matter what.
Someone going missing is a crisis. Mental health is the most significant cause for people to go missing. Other factors include problems at home, care or school, to exploitation and grooming.
In our 30-plus year history we have made significant progress. We are learning and led by the people using our frontline services, every day. Together, with them and our supporters, we are helping to make long-term change to address root causes to reduce the number of people going missing
