Mr Taha didn’t have his bus card or wallet on him when he left, though Mr Nadaison believes he would have been wearing a lanyard from Peacehaven with his personal details and the address of the facility.

Hope he’ll reunite safely with his family soon

The family is unsure if he had intentionally taken off, but since he has dementia, they are understandably concerned. They have since filed a missing person report with the police.

Anyone with useful information can contact Mr Nadaison.

With Christmas just around the corner, we sincerely hope that the family will receive help to find their loved one.

We hope that Mr Taha is safe wherever he is and will be reunited with his family soon.
