The missing man has been found with your help! Your missing person posters that were distributed were spotted by one of the missing man’s new associates and the message passed on that he had been reported missing. He made contact with his family, in turn them us. We took it from there. Thank you very much for your assistance.

We need a charity like Missing People that works with both runaways and the families left behind. My daughter ran away from home after a seemingly trivial argument and walked for 22km before hanging herself. If only she had known about Missing People and their Runaway Helpline, maybe she wouldn’t have felt that she had only one option. It is essential that the government recognises Missing People's work, from the value it brings to the thousands of families waiting for news of a missing loved one, to the many young people it offers direct assistance to each week.
