The faces of 62 people missing from home this Christmas in the North West

As families across the North West mark Christmas, this photo gallery shows 62 people currently missing, while their loved ones face the festive period without answers.

Someone is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK, and while most are found quickly, many families face weeks, months or years of uncertainty.

Missing People is a UK charity offering free, confidential, 24-hour support to missing people and their families during what is often an isolating and distressing time.

The gallery below contains the faces of 62 people missing from the North West, with families asking anyone who recognises them to come forward.

Sightings can be reported free and confidentially by calling 116 000, emailing [email protected], or completing the charity’s online sightings form.
