Our Mission
The Alex Roberts-Miller Foundation is a registered charity established in 2002 to provide educational, sporting and social opportunities for disadvantaged young people in the UK. Our trustees and a great many generous supporters help to raise funds, which we donate as grants to carefully chosen charities.
The Foundation was created to be a fitting and enduring tribute to Alex Roberts-Miller, who was killed at the age of 28. Alex was a gifted young man who excelled in a number of fields. During his short life, Alex was able to take full advantage of his many talents, and the main aim of the Foundation is to provide opportunities for other young people to do the same.
100% of Donations go to Charity
Run entirely by unpaid volunteers, the Foundation has extremely low overheads, which are completely covered by an endowment, so 100% of donations go to charity. Moreover, with Gift Aid we receive another 25% from the taxman, meaning donations can go even further!
