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

You Raise Me Up Golf Day 2025 at Royal Eastbourne!

A Swinging Success

What a tee-rific day it was on Friday 29th August 2025 at the stunning Royal Eastbourne Golf Club all in support of You Raise Me Up. We are so proud to say that we raised a whopping total of £8,991! We had a total of twenty teams of four with one team of three, making a total of 79 people playing for the day.

We were blessed with glorious sunshine, most of the time, some seriously impressive shots (and a few not-so-impressive ones!), and a whole lot of generosity from our amazing players and supporters. From seasoned pros to enthusiastic amateurs, everyone brought their A-game, or at least their best golf puns!

🏌️‍♂️ Competition was fierce…

A huge congratulations to our top three teams; a true showcase of skill, teamwork, and probably a bit of luck!

🥇 1st Place: Clarke Roofing
🥈 2nd Place: CT Electrical
🥉 3rd Place: Advanta Chartered Accountants

And of course, we couldn’t forget the fun categories…

  • Nearest to the Pin: Jack Thompson
  • Longest Drive: AJ Richardson
  • Wooden Spoon Award: Harry Roberts from Cramp & Mullaney – we salute your spirit!
  • Wheelbarrow of Booze Raffle Winner: – enjoy responsibly!

All for an incredible cause

Every putt, swing, and slice helped raise vital funds for You Raise Me Up, allowing us to continue supporting families who have lost a young adult aged 16–25. Your generosity means the world and helps us keep doing what we can.

Whether you played, sponsored, donated or just came to cheer from the clubhouse – thank you. We couldn’t have done it without you.
