For The 13,000

At Locate International, our mission is to bring hope and resolution to families of the missing and unidentified. There are approximately 13,000 missing and unidentified people in the UK, and our dedicated team works tirelessly to solve these cases and provide answers to those affected.

Our fundraiser, 'For The 13,000' is a campaign aimed at raising awareness and funds to support our work. We are calling on our community to pledge activities—whether it's running, walking, baking, or any other creative endeavour—to collectively reach a target of 13,000 units. This number represents the 13,000 people who are missing or unidentified in the UK.

Our volunteers are already so generous with their time, but many of them have also chosen an activity to complete in August to raise much needed funds for our cause. They are asking friends, family, the general public - you - to sponsor them. Every penny counts and will go directly towards our mission.

Examples of Pledged Activities:

Other pledges include activities such as gardening, canoeing, walking, hiking, the gym, and running.

This group challenge perfectly encapsulates our ethos that even the smallest effort, when combined with the efforts of others, can lead to something extraordinary. We are a charity run solely by volunteers who demonstrate that a little can become a lot. Together, we can make a significant impact.
