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

DIY SOS Needed

Coffee, Cake & Care.

Our Support Centre Coffee Shop in Polegate High Street is the Home of the You Raise Me Up Charity & a vital Hub for the local community.

“It’s more than coffee & cake to us, its care too” a local resident told us.

 

1000 cups of coffee and 250 cakes & bakes provided each week has taken its toll on our kitchen and unfortunately it is falling apart after 4 years of constant use.

 

The care we give bereaved families, and the local community is immeasurable.

The demand for our help is increasing which we are meeting with our new signposting service.

 

Can you help us?

We need our own DIY SOS!!

A new kitchen supplied & fitted for our coffee shop & a re vamp of the space to accommodate our Signposting service to include a safe area.  

Any trades or businesses able to help us please?

Our grateful thanks and lots of cake in return for your help
