Thanks - was just about to post this too. I know Robert through being involved with some projects in Crystal Palace. He’s a lovely person and very active in the local community. Any help spreading the word is much appreciated. More details here: http://croydonguardian.co.uk/news/14555289.Concern_for_missing_Upper_Norwood_library_campaigner/

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Lambeth police on 101 or the charity Missing People on 116000.

That’s a very kind and thoughtful thing to do @Mitchy117. It’s very sad that Robert is still missing. I hope that if he’s going through difficult times and sees how much the community cares, it may reassure him to come home.

Thanks @pauline for tagging me. @Mitchy117 - there was a report that he might have been spotted around FH / Perry Vale at some point, so definitely worth asking businesses around FH station (both exits) to have some flyers on display. What time will you be heading out?

I found out that a friend of mine knows Robert and used to work with him. We’ve also been sharing online.

I assume there have been local searches?

If any kind of group physical search were to be organised, around parks, woods etc, I would make sure I had time to be involved.
