A BRITISH expat charity has launched fresh appeals for missing expats around the world.
As part of its Home For Christmas campaign, the Lucie Blackman Trust has launched a daily appeal for a different missing expat throughout the month of December.
Missing Costa del Sol expats Amy Fitzpatrick and Lisa Brown both featured within the first five days of the appeal.
As did missing 63-year-old John Wright who was last seen in July in Alicante.
“Most of us will have been touched by the sad reality of a missing person at some point in our lives,” a spokesman told the Olive Press.
“We originally set up to provide free advice and training on safety overseas, but soon realised there was a greater job to do.”
He added: “If our campaign helps to bring just one person home then it has been a success.”
Providing families with information and advice, the Lucie Blackman Trust is commissioned by the UK’s Ministry of Justice and the Victim Support National Homicide Service.
