About us

Our sole purpose is to raise funds to support families that have suffered the loss of a young person aged 16–25 years. Grief is a lonely journey; finding others with that shared experience to support each other is vital. We provide compassion and support to our families. We fund counselling and support groups for our families. You Raise Me Up was founded by the late Jane Brooks and her husband Fraser in June 2011. We are based in East Sussex and support families from East & West Sussex and Kent.

A personal perspective from our founders

To try and describe a mother’s love for their child is simply beyond me being able to put it down in words, it’s more of a feeling, an emotion, an indescribable mixture of so many different things, something quite special.
