WHEN Thames Valley Police issues a missing person appeal, it is always a relief when a follow-up news alert tells us the missing person has been found safe and well.

But for some people, that second alert never comes and they stay missing.

Missing People is a charity that searches for missing people on behalf of the friends and family left behind and provides specialised support to ease their heartache and confusion.

Their website lists dozens of people in the South East who remain missing, some of them several years after their disappearances were first reported.

We are supporting the charity by sharing appeals for information on all five people from Berkshirewho have been missing for more than three years.

If you have any information that could lead to them being found, you can contact Missing People anonymously and for free on 116000 and quote the reference number.
