Missing People
Missing People is the only charity in the UK dedicated to bringing missing children and adults back together with their families. • Our free, confidential helpline is available by phone, text or email to missing children and adults, and their families. • Young people can also access information and help via our Runaway Helpline website www.runawayhelpline.org.uk. • In partnership with every police force in the UK, we circulate missing appeals via social media, digital billboards and in print to help find missing children and adults. • We provide face-to-face support for children after they return from being missing, helping them deal with the triggers that made them leave. Missing People relies on donations, volunteering and pro bono support from individuals, charitable trusts and companies – and we are passionate about giving back to everyone who helps the charity to be a lifeline. We are also committed to supporting and developing our staff and volunteers. We were delighted to come 18th in the annual Sunday Times "100 best not-for-profit organisations to work for" list in 2016. - To find out how you can help the charity Missing People please call 0800 64 77 464. - To call our helpline for free, confidential advice please call 116 000. - For information about current vacancies, see www.missingpeople.org.uk/work-for-us Registered charity in England and Wales (1020419) and in Scotland (SC047419)
