Who We are

Live Like Ralph Skatepark. Graffiti mural featuring a smiling yellow face surrounded by green and yellow leaves, with the text 'Live like Ralph' at the bottom right.

Live Like Ralph was created in memory of Ralph Bayntun-Roberts.

Ralph was a skateboarder, designer, artist and creative thinker. He believed deeply in community, self expression and helping others find their place.

After Ralphs death in 2021, his family and friends chose to turn grief into action, creating something positive that would help other young people live with confidence, creativity and purpose.

Since then Live Like Ralph has had a positive Impact on thousands of young lives across the UK
