Live Like Ralph

Welcome to Live Like Ralph!

Live Like Ralph is a charitable organisation set up 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 both of those 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.
