About Us:

You Raise Me Up provides a much loved and valued service for the community.

The charity’s sole purpose is to raise funds to support families that have suffered the loss of an adult child between the age of 16 and 25 and to be able to provide compassion, support and simply to be able to say “we totally understand” rather than “we cannot imagine what you are going through!

The financial strains that a funeral can put on those left behind can be be of real concern as no parent wants to feel like they are ‘scrimping’ on their child’s send off. It is a real yet, sad fact that no parent should have to even consider saving and planning for the funeral of their child. Yet the cost of ensuring that you have the opportunity to give your child a beautiful and deserving service is something that no financial help, for a teenager of a certain age, is available for. The charity therefore aims to provide financial aid to help provide the funeral that child deserves.

By giving individual grants to families at this tragic time we lessen the day to day financial burden too.

We provide a 24 hour helpline, one to one specialist counselling, support groups and family days.

We need your help so we can continue to offer and even expand our service!

Thank you for your support and good luck!

Yours sincerely

Everyone at You Raise Me Up
