Two organisations committed to supporting communities across the UK have come together to launch a fresh appeal for missing man Allan Bryant.

Mr Bryant, who was aged 23 when he was last seen in Glenrothes on November 3, 2013, will be featured on the side of vans making deliveries to local shops in Dunfermline and across Fife.

UK charity Missing People have collaborated with the country's largest delivered wholesaler Palmer & Harvey for the new initiative called Delivering Hope to raise the profile of missing people across the UK.

They will be displaying appeals for missing children and adults on the side of their vans that make daily deliveries to shops in every UK mainland postcode.

From Wednesday one of the first appeals to be featured on the vans that will be Allan Bryant's.

His appeal, like others being featured in the Delivering Hope campaign, will raise the profile of the search for missing people in the communities where they were last seen.

The P&H Dunfermline depot delivers to retailers in Dunfermline including in the Fife area where Allan was last seen.

Allan Bryant Snr, father of missing Allan says: "Missing People's support since Allan went missing has been invaluable.

"We hope that Allan's appeal being displayed in the area he was last seen will reach people who may not have been familiar with it before.

"The Delivering Hope initiative is a great way to reach people here in Fife and hopefully encourage people to come forward with any information they may have."

Last year, 240,000 people were reported missing in the UK - enough to fill Dunfermline Athletic's East End Park Football Stadium 21 times.

Missing People will work with the guidance from the police, and with Palmer & Harvey's Dunfermline depot, to ensure the vans go on the roads of Scotland and the Fife area with the latest missing person posters as new appeals start.

Jo Youle, CEO of Missing People, says: "When someone is missing, it is almost always a sign that something is seriously wrong. One of the charity's key focuses is to appeal to a missing person to let them know that we are here for them, as well as asking the public to share vital information.

"We hope that Delivering Hope continues to play a role in reuniting missing people with their loved ones."

Martyn Ward, Managing Director of P&H, comments: "To our customers, what matters is inside the vans, yet the exterior is effectively a blank canvas that could be used to grab people's attention and help those in the communities we serve.

"The Delivering Hope campaign allows us to use our extensive delivery network to help this hugely inspiring cause."
