Ralph Roberts | LLR

Ralph Roberts was a young, creative photographer, an award-winning artist, a skateboarder, and a cyclist. But more than that, he was someone who brought people together, encouraged creativity, and inspired others to live boldly.

He had a creative mind, an adventurous spirit, and a heart that always had room for others.

Ralph believed in pushing boundaries, finding joy in the everyday, and creating space for people to be themselves.

In January 2021, Ralph passed away from sarcoidosis, a rare condition that attacked his lungs. He was just 26. His loss was devastating, but the impact he made in his lifetime continues to inspire.

Live Like Ralph CIC was created to keep his passion alive. Supporting skateboarding, creativity, music, and community projects that reflect the things he loved. As a Community Interest Company, we collaborate with and fund grassroots initiatives that align with Ralph’s values.

We help build skateparks, support music projects, and fund creative arts programmes to make sure young people, especially those who might not otherwise have the chance, have access to opportunities that help them express themselves, connect, and grow.

Ralph’s passion was never just about what he achieved; 

It was about lifting others up and making space for creativity and adventure. 

That’s what we strive to make possible at Live Like Ralph.
