Tracesmart, the UK’s leading data specialists took part in the Miles for Missing People 10K charity run, organised by the charity Missing People on Saturday 2nd April. With the largest team entry, Tracesmart further proved their commitment to the cause as the charity’s official search partner.
Tracesmart provide online consumer data solutions that enable businesses from a wide range of sectors to employ its services for people tracing, ID verification and data cleansing. Missing People themselves benefit from the tracing facility as part of their wide ranging needs to search for people and information.
Speaking of their support of Missing People, Owen Roberts, Head of Public Relations at Tracesmart commented: “We’re extremely pleased that we’ve been able to raise so much money, the sum demonstrates the determination of our staff and fundraising team who have really got behind the charity. As a company we’re proud that our employees have embraced the important work that this charity undertakes – it’s a testament to our company values and ethos.”
Martin Houghton-Brown, the Chief Executive of Missing People, said “We’re so grateful to Team Tracesmart for their fantastic support of Miles for Missing People. The company’s extraordinary fundraising efforts will help us to improve and expand our services, so that we can be a lifeline when someone disappears.”
Missing People provide a vital support when someone goes missing. At any one time, Missing People is searching for over 5,000 missing people in the UK, 3,000 of which are children. Their caring and highly trained staff and volunteers offer specialised support to the families that are left behind; they work hard to try and end the heartache and confusion. The charity is currently campaigning for the Government to give families of missing people the same basic rights as victims of crime.
