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.

Supporting Runners at the Eastbourne Half Marathon

We’re excited to share the You Raise Me Up will be proudly supporting this year’s Eastbourne Half Marathon by manning one of the official checkpoints on Sunday 26th October.

Our team will be out in force, cheering on the amazing runners and offering much-needed drinks, snacks, and encouragement as they tackle one of the UK’s most challenging and beautiful marathon routes. It’s a small but meaningful way we can give back to the community and be part of such a brilliant local event.

We know how much effort goes into training for a marathon, and we’re looking forward to helping runners stay energised and motivated along the way. If you’re taking part, be sure to give us a wave when you pass through!

Good luck to everyone running and we’ll see you on the course!
