Eastbourne Borough Football Club’s chosen local charity is ‘You Raise Me Up,’ who support families after the death of a child aged 16-25.

The charity provides compassion, support and simply to be able to say “we totally understand” rather than “we cannot imagine what you are going through”.

They have trained, experienced counsellors available to help families through these dark times. They also run monthly support groups, where you can meet other families going through similar emotions and start to feel less alone. Their support centre and community cafe in Polegate is a comfortable welcoming space for all and as a club we are proud to be supporting You Raise Me Up with their fundraising efforts this season.
