We want to support every person and family affected by missing. You can help us achieve this.
A person goes missing every 90 seconds in the UK, that means by the time you have finished reading this page there will be heartbreak for another family.
By taking part, your fundraising effort will mean something for every single one of these people.
Take on the 90-90-90 Virtual Challenge!
By committing to raise £90 – you could help us reunite a family.
£90 will launch a publicity campaign to find a missing person and provide hope to families affected.
Let’s conquer 90-90-90 together.
After facing some of the most difficult moments in their lives, many people are physically and mentally exhausted, bearing the emotional scars of the last year. People like Angela*, one of our NHS heroes on the frontline battling the increasing pressures that COVID-19 has presented. After helping everyone else, Angela found herself struggling to cope with her own mental health.
“A couple of weeks ago, I had an acute mental health episode, although this had been building over some time. I work for the NHS, and the stress of the job plus other issues over the last few years, including bereavement, everything became too much.
I ended up ringing my boss to tell her I was going to end it and basically ‘went missing’. I turned up at a friend’s house but in the meantime, there were many police officers out looking for me around the river area and my phone was constantly ringing. My husband thought he had lost me, and it was very traumatic for everyone all round. In the end, I spent two nights voluntary in a mental health unit and now I am determined to get better.
Something really struck me in the midst of all this. I had only been missing a short while but within that time I had a message come through on my phone from Missing People offering support. I can’t believe how quickly this had come through and I think it is an amazing charity, so thank you.”
To support missing people and their families left behind, your challenge could involve running, cycling, swimming, dancing, push-ups or a combination of all of these. 90-90-90 Virtual Challenge is open to any age, any ability and can be achieved anywhere.
