Night of Light Gala

On Thursday 13th March 2025, we welcomed supporters for our 12th annual Gala. Taking place for the first time at The Royal Lancaster Hotel. The night was hosted by Dr Ranj Singh, best know as a TV doctor, author and presenter appearing Morning Live and This Morning. Dr Ranj brought his professional expertise to highlight the importance of the link between mental health and missing. The Honorary Guest Speaker for the evening was our esteemed patron, Sir Stephen Fry! Sir Stephen has personally experienced going missing and has bravely shared his mental health struggles that led him to that crisis point. His presence and words made a touching difference on the night.
