About The Missed Foundation
The guide is the foundation project of The Missed Foundation. We exist to humanise missing loved ones, alleviate the impact on their families and friends, and transform the way society responds.
This guide was created in consultation with families who have lived experience of having a loved one go missing. We know the confusion, the fear, and the desperate need for clear, practical information, because we have lived it.
Keeping this guide current, accurate, and accessible takes time, expertise, and resources. If you have found it useful, please consider supporting our work.
Your donation helps us to:
- Maintain and update this guide so families can access current information.
- Provide specialised support to families of long-term missing people living with the ambiguous loss.
- Educate professionals and the community.
- Create therapeutic resources.
- Advocate for lasting change to the way society responds to the issue of missing persons.

Testimonials
“We are profoundly grateful to The Missed Foundation for their unwavering support and guidance. From the outset, this guide served as a practical roadmap, helping us navigate the unfamiliar and overwhelming process of coordinating a community-led search at short notice. It was the help in the finer details that only someone with lived experience could truly understand. Like, the advice to document absolutely everything – daily tasks, conversations, and every point of contact – seemed a little excessive at first, but it proved invaluable and has continued to be incredibly helpful in the years that followed. Drawing on lived experience, this guide is a vital tool for anyone navigating the demanding and emotional task of searching for a missing person.” – Family
“Words can’t describe how important having someone to guide us through such an unknown process, who to speak to and what to do to find our loved one is.” – Daughter
“This guide has been a bible for our family.” – Sister
