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

Girls Just Wanna Go Run

To help raise the funds for her place on our Borneo Trek , Katie Westgate persuaded 3 friends to join her on the Beachy Head Marathon

They wrote … Just 4 girls running the Beachy Head marathon, 26 miles with minimal training .. no biggy!?

Are we crazy? Many would think so!

Why are we doing it? This is why;

Supporting our local Charity ‘You Raise Me Up’ which helps families with emotional and financial support when it comes to the loss of a child.

This charity has helped so many families through one of life’s most traumatic events. No one expects to bury their own child.

We don’t want these families to ever feel alone so we want to raise money and help such a powerful and inspiring charity that is close to everyone’s heart!

They did it through the wind on the Downs. 8 hours!

Well done Belinda, Charlotte, Tanya & Katie

Thank you Girls! Amazing friends
