Vinette Robinson has backed The Independent’s SafeCall campaign, which aims to raise £165,000 to support the 70,000 children who go missing every year in the UK.
The actor said that for some young people “running away seems like the only way out”, but stressed that “leaving doesn’t mean safety, it means risk”.
The Independent, in partnership with the charity Missing People, is helping to raise funds that will launch a new service designed to be a lifeline to young people in crisis.
She urged people to support the campaign, which provides “someone to trust, someone to listen and a way to find safety”.
