Our partnership with Missing People charity has reached a significant milestone. As of Monday 13 October, we've launched a scheme offering safe and free travel to help missing people get home. When Missing People locates someone who needs to get home, they contact our Eyewitness team with a pre-agreed code. This allows us to arrange free travel immediately and ensures our colleagues on the route are ready to provide support. "This is a huge step forward for our collaboration with Missing People Charity and re-uniting families with their loved ones," says Safeguarding Liaison Manager Gemma Lemon (Davis). Our customer-facing colleagues are often in a unique position to make a real difference. That's why our Safeguarding team has established a network of Missing People Ambassadors – colleagues who dedicate time alongside their daily duties to raise awareness and support others who may encounter missing people on our network. Conductor Instructor and Ambassador Alexander Gresswell shares his experience: "After settling into my day-to-day role, I wanted to see if there was anything else I could do... Nearly a year in, I am sure that I made the right decision." Alexander even organized our participation in Missing People's Monopoly-themed walk with just two weeks' notice, helping to raise vital awareness across the transport sector. This initiative is funded through our Customer and Community Improvement Fund (CCIF), which continues to make a real difference in our local community. #MissingPeople #CCIF https://lnkd.in/g7H3aAA
