Profile picture appeal 🙏

Cole, we want you to see and feel how loved you are.

As we approach week 5 since Cole was last seen, we need your help! As it remains, we don’t have answers, but we don’t plan on stopping.

So we are asking you all a small favour, this doesn’t cost anything and will keep coles face fresh in peoples minds. We are asking you to update your profile picture with Cole’s poster - this can be temporary. 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, it doesn’t matter. What matters is by everyone doing this, thousands more people will see Cole’s face.

If you’re a friend of Cole’s, a family member or following Cole’s story, please support us by displaying his poster on your profile picture. There are over 20,000 of you, we need you all to be loud. Life can be cruel enough, but vanishing without a trace can’t be an option!

By doing this and sharing the page, you’ll be helping us reach more people and increasing the chances that someone out there holds the key to finding Cole.

Together, we can hope louder and bring Cole home. Strength is in numbers.

With that being said, if anyone out there has seen Cole, been with Cole, or has spoken to Cole from Thursday May 1st until Wednesday May 7th we would appreciate you get in touch with us. This can be anonymously, via the police, or to myself or Wendy. Even if the details are small, it’s important you come forward with this information.

Please use the poster below ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Please share 🙏

‼️Could everyone please share this post as far and wide as you possibly can, to family , friends and to neighbouring community pages ‼️

Johnstone Sound is a non profit online community radio service for Johnstone. We have a great team of around 15 dedicated volunteers who help with the operation of the station.
We are now in our 5th year and moving forward with new and exciting plans to get the station on DAB+ in Renfrewshire.
But we can’t do it with out the help from you.

It costs several thousands of pounds to keep the station on air every year and we really need the help of the local listeners and local businesses in order to keep us on air , serving the local community.

We are currently running a fundraising campaign to raise vital funds to help keep us on air.

Initially we are trying to raise £500 which will help us for the next few months.
