Missing People

Who we are

Missing People offer a lifeline to the 250,000 people who run away and go missing each year in the UK.

We listen in confidence, and support missing people and their families to explore their options and, where possible, to reconnect. For those left behind we provide specialised support to ease the heartache and confusion, and help search for their missing loved ones.

We exist to be a lifeline when someone disappears. We provide free advice, support services and ways to find missing people. Last year we found 1,126 missing people, safeguarded 4,105 missing children and adults, supported 1,981 families with a missing loved one, and responded to an average of 161 contacts a day to our 24/7 helpline.
