Missing People

How We Can Help

We are here to help when someone goes missing, here to listen when you need us...

Help & support when you need it most...

If you are missing or thinking about leaving home

We understand that life can be very hard & coping with this can be overwhelming.  People leave home for a variety of different reasons, often because they can’t see another solution:

Contact Us for confidential help and support & discuss options available to keep you safe.
• You can send a 'Safe & Well' message to your loved ones.

Missing Persons U.K. and Beyond provide a 24/7 confidential, protective support network to missing persons and their families.         

Contact Us via phone, text, forms or email.

Our aim is to make sure that all missing persons are found safe, & to provide free support to those thinking about leaving home; those who have went missing; and their families.


We understand that everyone’s circumstances & requirements are different, sometimes you might just need someone to listen, sometimes you need more. 

Talk to us and let’s see how we can help & support you.

If a loved one has been reported missing

If someone you know is missing, this should be reported to the Police.


When a family member or friend goes missing the impact can be far-reaching & devasting, affecting you mentally, physically & financially. 

It can be a lonely experience no matter how many people you have to support you, & sometimes it can be difficult to fully express how you feel to those closest to you – we will always be here to listen: 

Contact Us for help and advice & we can discuss how best to support you.


  • Sometimes it can be difficult to know what type of information you should include on social media posts, so we have created a Form that you can complete and send to us;

    • We can help keep missing persons profiles in the public eye by sharing appeals on social media, radio, and newspapers. 


Social media is a great way of raising the profile of a missing person - we have a large global audience, and when posts are shared it has a ‘snowball’ effect, reaching thousands of people worldwide.

In certain cases, we can assist with some costs associated with a missing person e.g. posters/flyers; advertisements; & travel costs if missing in a different area.
We will consider all types of costs associated with having a loved one who is missing so please
get in touch.

Reuniting Family & Friends

How We Can Help

People can easily lose touch with family & friends for so many different reasons, & although we often think of them over the years, we don’t always know how to find them or where to start looking.

Perhaps you have searched & hit a ‘brick wall’? maybe you don’t quite know what to say, & are anxious in how to approach the situation as you’re not sure how contact will be received?  Maybe you are an adoptee looking to find your birth family, but not sure where to start or how to proceed with contacting family?
Missing Persons U.K. and Beyond has had many successes reuniting family & friends, regardless of how long they have been apart – in some cases we have reunited friends who have lost contact for a few years, sometimes we have reunited families who have been separated for generations!

Some searches can be resolved quickly, others take time, & with this type of research no-one can know what the outcome will be, but we never give up & will be there to help you through no matter what happens.

As we are based in Scotland, we have direct access to local Scottish records, which may not be available online, and a wide range of online resources which allow us to conduct research within the U.K. and abroad. 


We have a group of experienced & knowledgeable researchers who will deal with your case in a sensitive & confidential manner & act as an intermediary between parties.

No personal information will be given to anyone without prior consent, and if necessary, we will pass along correspondence on your behalf until both parties are happy to be in direct communication. 


All research services are free & you will never be asked for monies, however, in some instances where we cannot get full access to records, you may be advised to purchase certificates (e.g. Birth, Marriage, Death) which might contain information necessary to progressing with your search. 

If this happens, the choice to follow advice & purchase document(s) is entirely your decision.


Sometimes it can be difficult to know what type of information you should tell us &/or include on social media posts, so we have created a Form to help you provide us with the details we need for our tracing service & posts.


Contact Us to find out how we can help.


Please note we can only help with searches for those over the age of 18. 

Also, we cannot undertake searches on behalf of birth families looking for adoptees, but we are happy to offer help & advice.
