Hope, who has links to Manchester, was last seen wearing black and white Nike trainers, black Nike socks, a white hoodie, a white T-shirt, and pink shorts.

Cheshire Police have issued an appeal to help find Hope, and have also shared a direct plea to the youngster to get in touch.

Police Constable Izzy Morrall said: “We have been conducting a number of enquiries to locate Hope and we are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.

“As well as Poynton, Hope has a number of links to the Manchester area. I would urge anyone who thinks they have seen Hope since she went missing to contact us.

“The same goes for anyone who thinks they know where she may be or has any CCTV or dashcam footage which could aid our search. I would also like to appeal directly to Hope to ask her to get in touch with us.”

Anyone with information should ring 101, quoting IML 2067723. You can also report information to us through our website via www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us.
