Tonight is a very special night for Newcastle locals! 

For the first time ever, Newcastle will be participating in the 'Leave a light on' initiative, to help raise awareness for missing persons across the country. 

Tonight, the city will light up in honour of those families waiting for their loved ones to come home, with the city hall clock, library, art gallery and other local landmarks illuminating in support of the cause.

Locals are being encouraged to leave their porch lights on or to light a candle and leave it on their doorstep to pay tribute to missing Australians across the country.

Nick, Jess & Ducko spoke with NBN reporter Jane Goldsmith this morning about the initiative.

Jane explained where the initiative began, how 'leave a light on' will help to raise awareness and why it's important we shine a light on the issue.
