Missing People is incredibly grateful to have been selected as one of seven charities benefiting from the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot last week. This generous initiative has raised an incredible £450,000 for good causes.
The was made possible thanks to Betting and Gaming Council members, Flutter (Paddy Power, Betfair, Sky Bet), Entain (Ladbrokes, Coral), Evoke (888 William Hill), Kindred (Unibet), Betway, Rank Group (Grosvenor Sport), Virgin Bet, LivescoreBet, Star Sports and QuinnBet, along with the support of Tote and Bet with Ascot.
For Missing People, our share of the total raised will ensure that vital information, guidance and support will be available to missing people and their loved ones when it is needed most, and for however long it takes.
We’d like to thank everyone who helped make this possible. Their generosity ensures we can continue to providing a lifeline to people affected by a disappearance, no matter what.
Jo Youle OBE, Chief Executive of Missing People said:
“Thank you to the Betting and Gaming Council, and its members, for the incredible generosity extended to Missing People via the Britannia Stakes.
Someone is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK. Your support means the charity can be there for people in crisis who are missing, and for families still searching.
No matter what the situation, this donation will mean that vital information, guidance and support will be available when it is needed most.”
