Volunteer Vacancies

We are an entirely volunteer-led organisation, and our team of volunteers play a critical role in supporting the work that we are committed to conducting. Our volunteers enable us to achieve our goals more effectively and efficiently, and also help to build awareness, support, and engagement with our mission as a charity.

We are inspired by the people who join our teams from all parts of the community to form a growing movement of people applying their time and skills to the review and investigation of cold cases involving missing persons and unidentified remains, at no cost to the police and families. However much time you have and whatever your experience, there are lots of opportunities to join our team and make a difference.

Apply to be an investigator

Our next volunteer intake will be January 2025. Following this intake, we plan to onboard volunteers every quarter. Please fill in your details below to be added to our waitlist. If you have previously contacted us about a volunteering opportunity, you do not need to complete this form again. Please note, we are unable to respond to all applications, but will contact you in 2025 if you are successful.

Alex Booth

“Locate gives me the chance to use skills I have developed throughout my career, to support a charity doing hands on work. Rather than simply making a financial donation. ”
