In May 2007, the disappearance of Madeleine McCann made international headlines, catapulting the issue of missing children and missing people into the public arena.
In the midst of the chaos of Madeline’s abduction, it became more and more evident that so many other families had suffered the same fate, and yet very little was being done to support them in raising awareness to their missing loved one.
The Founders of Forever Searching were passionate and committed to raising awareness to all missing people, and were committed to creating an organisation whose primary purpose was to raise awareness to the phenomenon of missing people throughout the world and to support the families living in limbo with a missing loved one.
Utilising various methodologies, the aim of Forever Searching is to not only highlight to the general public as to the many ways in which someone can go missing, but to also raise awareness to individual cases. Issues such as Parental Abductions and the impact that these abductions have on the child, is not well known, neither is the fact that thousands of women children and men are trafficked throughout the world every year. It is our aim to get the public talking about these issues.
One of the key factors to locating a missing person is to keep awareness high, keep the profile of the missing person visible and in the public arena. Co-Founder Kathy Atkinson says “Any poster we send out could be the one that helps a missing loved one find their way home and knowing that makes it all worthwhile”.
