2013 marks the 10th year that Moore’s brother Tom has been missing. Proceeds from 'Art Wars' 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 ten years on and with the support of the Missing People Charity, his family are reopening the search for Tom and have started up a website www.missingtom.com A short narrated film about Tom can be viewed here.
