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.

Yes ….it’s nearly that time of the year again when we all get out our Festive Knitwear and join together to celebrate everyone’s favourite time of the year. By taking part and donating to You Raise Me Up you will be helping us to continue providing essential counselling to families that have suffered the loss of a young adult aged between 16 – 25.
It’s on Friday 12th December this year so if you, your work colleagues, or your friends or family would like to take part please let us know and we can get a collection pot and poster to you so you can start collecting. Email us on info@youraisemeup.co.uk
Thank you for your support!
