Approximately 250,000 people go missing in the UK each year.
People of any age can go missing for a variety of reasons, in the case of a very young child it could be simply because they lost their way, in adults it could be through dementia, depression or other mental health issues, temporary disorientation due to medication or due to accidental head injuries.
The dissapearance could also be done on purpose to evade the law or legal issues, or through relationship issues, or as a result of peer pressure, or it could be forced from bullying or other abuse or such as in cases of abduction or murder.
When someone of any age goes missing, it raises safety issues about the missing person and causes much suffering and heartache with families and friends.
WOO wants to help by displaying photographs and contact information of missing persons from the area or those who are connected to the area, and nationwide Emergency Child Rescue Alerts.
Please check these pages regularly and if you do see any of the people below contact the Police.

People of any age can find themselves homeless for many reasons, it s far too easy for us to ignore them and turn a blind eye, but what if it was you that lost your job, could not afford to pay rent on the benefit supplied and was suddenly forced to live on the streets?
Remember not everyone has family and friends around to help, and even if they do many will not help when times are that rough, they wrongly put the blame on the individual.
Lack of shelter from the elements, lack of enough and suitable food or the money to purchase it already place the individual's health at risk, but the winter weather can be the last straw.
WINTER CAN KILL !
If you see someone sleeping rough, Remember it is someone's son, or daughter, mother or father, brother or sister.
