LONDON, January 21 - Following the tragic events in Wengen, Switzerland in December, the
family of Myles Robinson has launched a charitable foundation in his memory.
"The Myles Robinson Memorial Trust" aims to increase the involvement of young
British adults in helping underprivileged children at home and abroad become
more actively involved in sport. The Trust has been set up by Myles' family
with the help of Partners Capital, the investment firm that Myles was due to
join in January of this year.

Myles was a keen sportsman who taught sport in Ghana whilst on a gap year
between school and university. The Trust will give young people from the UK
the opportunity to experience other cultures in a role that helps
underprivileged children have access to organised sport. The hope is that
this will keep these children away from crime or other socially unproductive
activities and give them enjoyment and focus in their lives.

"Myles was an avid sportsman - a golfer, a skier, a water polo player and
a lover of most sports. In his gap year, he became involved in teaching
football - and a bit of golf - to children in Africa and this was something
that gave him a huge amount of satisfaction. We hope that through this Trust
other young people will be able to have the same fulfilling experience that
Myles did."

- Michael Robinson

The Trust has been setup under the Charities Aid Foundation umbrella
(charity number 268369) and will work through other existing charities, such
as Lattitude and Raleigh. These organisations give volunteers the chance to
make a worthwhile difference to the lives of others through sports projects
overseas, while providing an unforgettable experience of adventurous travel,
cultural exchange and personal development.

The family are keen to raise as much money as possible for Myles' trust ,
so that a real difference can be made. Myles' would-be employer, Partners
Capital, have been extremely generous in making an initial contribution of
GBP15,000 to the "The Myles Robinson Memorial Trust".
