ABOUT US
Somebody goes missing in the UK every 90 seconds. Missing People exists to ease the heartache experienced by those missing someone, and to help people who are away from home find their way back to safety. Our vision is for every missing child, adult and family left behind to find help, hope and a safe way to reconnect. We are a non-judgemental, highly skilled team of staff and volunteers working for everyone who needs us. We provide free, confidential support, help and advice by phone, email, text and live chat.
We coordinate a UK-wide network of people, businesses and media to join the search for the estimated 170,000 people who go missing each year.
Missing People is an independent charity that relies on donations.

The generous support from charitable trusts and foundations, livery companies and lotteries help Missing People to be a lifeline when someone disappears. The team raise vital funds - between £600k-£950k annually - with scope for further growth.

There for children and adults in crisis who are missing or thinking of leaving home, and families waiting desperately for news.

Our Helpline staff have heard from people struggling with anxiety, debt and increased mental health challenges, who feel their only option is to disappear. Others are fleeing difficult situations at home or in care, such as abuse and exploitation.
