The Liverpool ECHO has joined forces with charity Missing People to launch national fundraiser Everything Stops for Tea.

We want you to hold a special tea party for family, friends and colleagues on or around Friday, March 20 to support those who are missing - and those who are missing someone they love.

Everything Stops for Tea is being championed by Missing People ambassador Fiona Phillips.

She launched the campaign at a special tea party with parents of missing children Peter Lawrence, Peter Boxell and Sarah Godwin at the Victoria and Albert museum.

Fiona Phillips said, I know from spending time with parents of missing children that these families go through the most indescribable pain.

"Everything Stops for Tea is a brilliant idea because everyone loves a cup of tea and a slice of cake and a natter.

"But what makes it really special is they will be helping the charity Missing People to offer a lifeline when someone disappears.
