We are thrilled about our new partnership with NEXT, a company that cares about giving back. We have worked together on a special August bouquet. With lovely pink roses and fragrant rosemary sprigs arranged in a vase – it is the perfect gift for a birthday, housewarming, or a new baby. Plus, when you buy this bouquet, a portion of the sales goes directly to Missing People, helping us answer more calls on our Helpline (116 000) and reunite missing individuals with their loved ones before it’s too late.
In the UK, someone is reported missing every 90 seconds. Missing People is the only UK charity providing a lifeline for those affected by a disappearance or considering going missing. We offer families, friends, and colleagues the tools to cope, while also working to prevent further disappearances.
Thank you, NEXT, for your invaluable support. We look forward to seeing how this partnership blooms

Our initiative, Digital Search Heroes, asks people to sign up for a weekly email with the most recent missing person appeals and information about our work. We will also highlight a longer-term missing case to help keep the search alive.
We ask that you share the appeals on social and also keep an eye out in your local area. In the future, we will also launch an alert system that will send high-risk missing appeals straight to you if the person was last seen in your area.
