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

Marathon Runner joins NHS frontline

After months of training sadly in April the Brighton Marathon was cancelled just as our supporter Louis Walder took up a new role with NHS ….

 

Louis told us “Although I am gutted the Marathon has been postponed I am delighted to have still raised £200 for You Raise Me Up.

I promised I would keep up my training and continuing to run however that has taken a back seat after starting work as a Physiotherapist at the Conquest Hospital.

I hope to continue raising money for You Raise Me Up in the future and supporting the wonderful work they continue to do.

Thanks Louis x”

 

Louis hopes to take part in the 2021 Brighton Marathon

Thank you Louis for your support
