are privileged to have as a speaker
a volunteer and PA for South Staffs Search and Rescue
and as a result of this has become involved in the growing problem of Missing People.
Some who go missing are those with mental health issues, Dementia, and of course trafficking.
12 people every day go missing in Staffordshire.
Many organisations working in these fields are funded by donations.
The group felt that this year's theme
'Hope in Action' to build a more equal and peaceful world,
fitted really well with those working in these difficult areas.

Extra-ordinary theatre for these extraordinary times
An island in the South Pacific has a problem. It’s hollow.
Anxiety levels are rising in a North American boardroom. Eve’s garden is bursting with next door’s rubbish. Even the ducks have relocated… they’re in Bangladesh.
From the four corners of the earth come colourful, inter-connecting stories of humanity living with the wild, unpredictable effects of climate change.
Scientists, farmers, oil magnates, climate warriors, prophets, mothers, journalists and others just like you and me – we’re all in the mix and hungry for a recipe of hope. In the struggle over power, some sound the warming bell, some blow hot and cold, while others make a pudding of the planet.
Vivid, sharp and deliciously entertaining, BAKED ALASKA serves up the realities of climate change with flair and clarity about the temperatures involved.
In the high-energy, ‘seriously funny’ style for which Riding Lights is well known, BAKED ALASKA is something we can all look forward to… unless we do something about it.
