Police have launched an urgent search to find a missing 13-year-old schoolgirl in Bolton.
Bolton Police, part of Greater Manchester Police, have published an appeal to find 13-year-old Ramona.
The teenager was last spotted at 8pm on Young Street in Bolton, according to the appeal published on Friday, 21 November 2025.
She is described as a white female, around 5ft2, of very slim build, with long brown hair and brown eyes. When she was last seen, she was wearing a black jacket, black pants and trainers.
Police said: “Officers are becoming increasingly worried about her and want to make sure she is safe and well.
“Any members of the public who have information have been asked to contact police on 0161 856 5511, quoting log 0690 of 22/11/25.”
This month, The Independent launched its SafeCall campaign to raise money for charity Missing People.
The charity currently reaches about one in four of the 70,000 children reported missing each year. With readers’ support, SafeCall aims to reach many more by offering round-the-clock contact through a dedicated helpline, WhatsApp channel, chatbot and website created with young people.
The appeal, run with the charity Missing People, has now received more than £75,000 in donations as momentum builds behind efforts to launch a new 24-hour service for young people in crisis.
Please donate now to the SafeCall campaign, launched by The Independent and charity Missing People, to help raise £165,000 to create a free service to help find new, safe futures for vulnerable children.
Donate here or text SAFE to 70577 to give £10 to Missing People, enough for one child to get help.
For advice, support and options, if you or someone you love goes missing, text or call Missing People on 116 000. It’s free, confidential and non-judgemental. Or visit: missingpeople.org.uk/get-help
