\u201cAt the Mirror, we are passionate about enacting real change and my thanks goes to Lynda Moyo, our Head of Emerging Content Editor, who has driven this forward so passionately. Every day, we\u2019ll be sharing these stories and working to bring people home or to safety. Ultimately every missing person, no matter their background or life choices, is someone\u2019s son, daughter, mother, father, sister, brother, partner, friend and they are always missed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nerissa Tivy, whose son Alexander Sloley has been missing since 2008, said: “As a mum, I know just how unbearable it is to have a loved one go missing. That\u2019s why the partnership with The Mirror and Missing People means so much to us. They help us share the stories of our missing loved ones with compassion and care, giving families like mine hope and making sure those who are missing are never forgotten. It\u2019s about more than headlines – it\u2019s about helping families when they need it most.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The campaign continues to call for systemic change. The Mirror and Missing People have launched a joint petition urging the government to publish a new national strategy for missing children and adults. The petition calls for better coordination between police, health and social care services, investment in prevention for those most at risk, and improved support for individuals when they return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ross Miller, Director of Fundraising and Communications at Missing People, said: \u201cWe are incredibly grateful to The Mirror for recognising that going missing is a crisis that can affect anyone. This powerful collaboration is not only raising vital awareness of the thousands of people who go missing each year, but it is also ensuring that families searching for answers feel seen, heard, and supported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBy amplifying appeals, driving change through petitions, and helping us raise essential funds, The Mirror is making a real difference in the lives of those affected by disappearance. Together, we are bringing hope to families and working towards a future where fewer people face this devastating experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of the campaign, The Mirror continues to publish the name and photograph of a missing person each day, helping to raise awareness, maintain visibility, and drive meaningful change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17109,"template":"","published":[64],"region":[20],"class_list":["post-17108","case-studies","type-case-studies","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","published-64","region-national-campaigns"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/newsmediauk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Mirror-Missed-pdf-1024x651.jpg\")
