It would be totally unrealistic to think that one person could single handily go out there and trace a missing person and bring them home. However, to-gether we can.
There are a number of other ways you can get involved, and assist us in raising awareness to the missing.
MAKE A DONATION: As a non-profit organisation we rely totally on donations and fund raising events to assist us in our awareness campaigns. If you would like to make a donation to Forever Searching, click here.
FUND RAISE: Host a fund raising event. You could host a jumble sale, a car boot sale, a coffee morning / cake sale or a raffle. Funds raised are used for printing of posters, postage costs, and stationary costs. Funds are put back in to raising awareness to the missing and for holding awareness events.
Funding is always an issue for groups such as ours, fund raising is vital for success; lack of funding restricts us in what we need to do to get the faces of the missing out in the public arena.
