Moira Anderson Foundation
- Moira Anderson Foundation
The Moira Anderson Foundation is a charitable organisation, based in Lanarkshire, Scotland.
It was founded, in 2000, by Sandra Brown (campaigner), in memory of a 12-year-old schoolchild, Moira McCall Anderson, who went missing in Coatbridge in February 1957, and who has never been found. The Strathclyde Police files still record Moira McCall Anderson as a missing person, though it is widely believed that the child was abducted, abused and killed.
The Foundation exists to support families afflicted by child sexual abuse and related problems. As of 2007 over 500 families have received help and support from the Foundation.
