What is this service?

We're here to help

Our caring and highly trained staff and volunteers will discuss your options and try to get you the support you need. If you’re worried about the safety of a missing person, we would encourage you to contact the police as a first point of call. We provide 7 day per week emotional support for the duration of a disappearance.

We have access to the Language Line interpretation service to facilitate contact with non-English speakers.

Our website has more information on how you may report someone missing.

Our helpline is open 7 days per week, between 9am and 11pm. If you are missing, thinking of going missing, or someone you know is missing, we're here for you. You can call or text us, even if you have no credit on your mobile.
