Live Like Ralph

Creating Opportunities for young people through skateboarding, cycling, art, fashion and music.

Welcome to Live Like Ralph!

Live Like Ralph is a community interest company born from love, loss and a belief that creativity and community can change lives.

In honour of Ralph Roberts, who sadly passed away on the 3rd of January 2021.

Ralph, amongst many other things, was a keen skater and creative. It is our mission to help support and maintain these communities so that they can continue to grow.

We believe, as Ralph did, that by nurturing these communities, and all of the potential talent that lies within them, the positive impact they can have is extraordinary.

We fund and support young people to access sport, creativity and opportunity, especially where it wouldn’t exist otherwise.

Over £200k Raised

£100k+ granted to young creatives and communities

Hundreds of young people supported across the UK

What We do

We focus on 5 key Pillars - The things Ralph loved most, and the ways we create the biggest impact.

  • Breaking barriers to skateboarding.
    We provide skateboards, safety gear, and access to skate facilities for those who want to learn but may not have the means.
    We also fund and support community-led skate projects, ensuring more young people can experience the freedom and creativity of skateboarding.

  • Inclusive cycling challenges that bring people together and raise vital funds for youth projects.

  • Funding young creatives working in arts, design and fashion to access tools, materials and opportunities.

  • Supporting young musicians with instruments, equiptment and performance opportunities.

  • As a CIC, we also support aligned charitable causes, including Sarcoidosis UK, when there is a meaningful connection.

Why?

Too many young people miss out on creative and sporting opportunities because of cost, access or circumstance.

We exist to remove those barriers.
