Last week we were able to celebrate the one-year anniversary of our partnership with Trainline at The House of Commons, shining a light on the amazing work they do to use technology for good. Over the past year, this partnership has not only raised awareness about the unfortunate prevalence of missing in the UK, but also brought hope to families across the country, reuniting 46 missing people with their loved ones.
Following long-term corporate supporter, Hope & Glory PR, introducing Missing People to Trainline last November, Trainline has been using its technology for good. They deliver real-time, geo-targeted alerts to the public through their app, enabling their customers to access up-to-date information about missing persons in their area.
The positive impact of this collaboration has been recognized industry-wide, earning the campaign media attention and an amazing 16 awards within its first year, including two at this week’s PRCA Awards. These accolades celebrate the dedication of Missing People and Trainline to creating real-world change using technology to reunite families and bring missing loved ones home.
We are incredibly proud of this collaboration. The story of each person found is a reminder of why this partnership matters, and for every person found, countless family members and friends are spared a moment of fear and uncertainty. As we continue into our second year, we remain committed to finding even more people, reuniting more families, and expanding our reach in communities nationwide.
With each milestone, we are reminded of the incredible support from the public and the generosity of Trainline in helping make this vision a reality. This partnership is a powerful example of how, together, we can make a difference, one person at a time.
We have launched a regular email so that you can be aware of new missing person appeals and share them far and wide! We are also calling on all Heroes to be the eyes and ears for Missing People on the ground. Your sighting of a missing person could make a difference in a crucial time.
