About The Alex Roberts-Miller Foundation

The Alex Roberts-Miller Foundation is a registered charity whose main goal is to help provide educational, sporting and social opportunities for disadvantaged young people.  The Foundation also supports causes related to road safety.  

The Foundation is a grant-making charity run by unpaid volunteers. This allows us to operate on very low overheads. What is more, our very low overheads are more than covered by income from our permanent endowment - so 100% of the donations we receive go to charitable causes.

On top of that the Foundation qualifies for Gift Aid - which means that every £100 we receive from UK taxpayers can be boosted by £28 from the Inland Revenue. Tick the Gift Aid box and more than 100% of your donation will go to charitable causes.

The Foundation does not make grants to individuals. Instead the Foundation provides funds to carefully selected registered charities which serve causes it supports. The Foundation aims to target its grants where they will have a direct and significant impact on the lives of the people it is trying to help.

Our history

Alex Roberts-Miller died in July 2002 at the age of 28, the victim of a hit-and-run driver. During his life, Alex was a positive force who touched hundreds of people with his generosity of spirit and his belief in living life to the full. The Alex Roberts-Miller Foundation was established by his family in August 2002 to be a fitting and enduring memorial to his name.
 
Alex was a gifted young man who excelled in a number of fields. During his short life, he had been able to take full advantage of his many talents.  The Foundation aims to provide educational, sporting and social opportunities for young people who are less fortunate than he had been.
