April 2025’s Fundraiser of the Month

Our Fundraiser of the Month for April is our Light the Way walkers!  

A BIG SHOUTOUT goes to everyone who organised a Light the Way walk to support Missing People!  

We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for Lighting the Way for Missing People between March 27th and 30th. 

We are so grateful for your amazing fundraising and wanted to shout out some of our top fundraisers:  

• Stella Harding has raised over £1,600 to honour and remember her son Owen who went missing 5 years ago. Dozens joined Stella on a walk along the Saltdean coast to Light the Way for Missing People. You can find out more about Stella’s walk here.  
• Greater Anglia, c2c, Trainline and Southeastern came together to raise £1,618 and complete a Light the Way walk covering the railway stations on the Monopoly board.  
• Walk for the Missing Support Network Team who raised £522. Members of the ‘Walk for the Missing’ and ‘MISSING: Prevention, Help and Wellbeing Group’ Facebook groups took on a Light the Way walks around the country, including a walk in Rochdale. One member even dressed up as a bumble bee and danced through the streets and another got her child’s school to agree to a dance session wearing glow stick bracelets.  

Thank you so much to everyone who took on a Light the Way Walk for Missing People. So far, we have raised £6,200, we really appreciate your support!
