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

Taking the Leap for a Great Cause

On Sunday 5th October, a brave group of six will be taking to the skies – quite literally – as they prepare to jump out of a plane in support of You Raise Me Up, a charity close to many hearts.

The skydive will take place at Headcorn Aerodrome and includes a mix of individuals from Canton Martial Arts and 1st Eastbourne BNI.

The team includes Sarah Pearce, Levi Spence, Darryl Wick, Ben Irving, Roger Prime and Jacek Radejko – all of whom are stepping well outside their comfort zones to help raise awareness and funds for our incredible cause.

This isn’t just about the adrenaline rush (though there’ll be plenty of that too!), it’s about doing something meaningful. Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference.
