Whether we use them for work or play, the enjoyment of our cars feels hollow right now when so many others in Ukraine are suffering untold horrors through no fault of their own.

The 'Drive Half, Give Half' initiative aims to bring communities together while raising funds for those most in need via the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

It works as follows: many petrolheads actively take part in drive-outs or cars & coffee events, either with friends or as part of a club. Before doing so, we replenish our cars with fuel ready for the fun miles ahead.

Here, I'm asking you to fill up half your tank, and donate the cost of the missing half to our fund. 

You could then attend your usual event, but of course you should feel free to hold your own special drive-out or cars & coffee specifically for 'Drive Half, Give Half'!

I'm aware fuel prices are inflated currently: therefore, if you can't give half a tank's worth of a donation, that's fine, the important thing is to give what you can. If you can give half a tank's worth with the current prices, you can be safe in the knowledge you're being exceedingly generous!
