Ralphs Impact
Every project on this page has been funded by Live Like Ralph CIC.
Each one has come through our application process and been chosen because it creates real opportunities for young people, especially those who wouldn’t otherwise have access.
We support grassroots projects in skateboarding, music, and the creative arts: the things Ralph loved most.
That means funding coaching, equipment, creative spaces, and the people making it happen in their communities.
From a rebuilt mini ramp in Bristol to SEN skate sessions in Grimsby, your fundraising and donations are turning big ideas into real outcomes.
This is how Ralph’s legacy lives on
and why supporting Live Like Ralph means something
