Locate International is the largest entirely volunteer led UK charity providing specialist services in long-term missing and unidentified people investigations. There are over 11,000 people in the UK missing for more than a year and nearly 1,000 who remain unidentified after death. Our mission is to ensure that all that can be done is done in every case. We do this by building teams made up of specialists from different disciplines and volunteers from local communities. The teams review the cases to ensure that all that can reasonably be done, has and is being done. Our service is carried out at no cost to families. We consider unsolved cases collectively to better understand the issues, commonalities and how missing person investigations can be advanced. We operate in partnership with Universities, Law Enforcement Agencies, the Police and the families of those missing.
