The Missing Tom Fund
50% of the proceeds from the Art Below's 10th Anniversary Exhibition will go to the Missing Tom Fund, which was started up specifically to raise money to support the search for Thomas Moore. Tom left his family home in 2003. He was aged 31 years old. His friends and family have not heard from him since then. Now 12 years on, with the support of the Missing People Charity his family continue to search for Tom. www.missingtom.com
