It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce the closure of You Raise Me Up due to a lack of ongoing financial support.

We have loved being able to support so many families for the last 15 years in memory of Megan and Jane Brooks.
We would like to thank everyone who has supported the charity for the past 15 years and we are so grateful to have had this opportunity for as long as we have.
We also pay tribute to all our staff, counsellors and supporters – including many local businesses – for all the hard work they have done. It has been a privilege working with everyone.
You Raise Me Up has been an incredibly special place for so many and we will treasure the experiences we have had and the wonderful families we have met.
This decision has not been easy and we have explored all viable options, but unfortunately due to a lack of sustained financial support and rising operational costs we can no longer operate.
This is an incredibly difficult time and we know how much upset this will cause. But we are immensely proud of everything You Raise Me Up has achieved. Megan and Jane’s legacy will continue beyond the organisation itself.
As of now we will no longer be operating. Our priority now is to ensure a responsible and compassionate wind-down.
Should you have any questions, please email trustees@youraisemeup.co.uk

COVID-19 Emergency Funding

At this difficult time when all charities are unable to raise funds in their usual ways the Government, local authorities and grant making organisations

have set up COVID-19 funding to support charities through this crisis.

We are very lucky to have been successful with applications to

The National Lottery Emergency Fund,

The Sussex Crisis Fund from The Sussex Community Fund and

The East Sussex County Council COVID-19 Emergency Funding.

These funds will replace lost income at a time when we are seeing an increase in demand for our services.

The support will sustain our Charity through the next very difficult 6-9 months.

It has become very aware that local charities are best placed to deliver services in their local area as well as specialist support to those in need.
