Many Community Initiatives

Supporting those that look after Members of the Community living with Alzheimer's or Dementia in order to help us find them should they go missing.

Community work for Kent Search & Rescue is about supporting and working with the community through campaigns and programmes to help members of the public prepare for a member of the family or loved one possibly getting lost, taking steps to try and prevent this in the first place and to provide peace of mind.

This form is to be used by carers to keep key details and information of the person they care for, which will be invaluable to them, Kent Police and indeed ourselves to help us find them should they go missing.
