SIR – The charity Missing People is appealing for more than 30 people missing in Yorkshire alone, including Joseph Shann, currently missing from Leeds.

His family, and families of all missing people, are desperately worried and need to know everything possible is being done to find their loved ones in the hope of bringing them home safe and well.

It takes just two minutes to sign up to play People’s Postcode Lottery.

In that same time someone’s loved one will go missing in the UK.

To date, players of People’s Postcode Lottery across Great Britain have raised more than £2.9 million for missing people.
