As we all likely sit in our warm homes and look forward to eating nice meats - I wondered if there any PH-style charities that we could all pitch into if anyone else has some spare coins? Not sure I've seen a thread on this before so let me know if I've missed one.

Is there a charity that combines the usual goodwill of helping people down on their luck, with petrol head ideals? Or anything set up by PH members or in honour of? Or is there anyone on PH tearing their hair out that they can't find the cash to buy their kids a present but don't want it publicly known so we could help them out? Anything along those lines!

Mission Motorsport, military charity getting ex/serving/wounded/injured/PTSD into work in the industry as well as motorsport. Been helping them off and on for a couple of years or so now.

Some heavy hitter car types get involved, EVO types, John Hindaugh, Chris Harris, Dario & Marino Franchitti to name a few.

Brilliant blokes, sweat every pound they get and do wonders.

The boss of MM used to post on here, not sure if he still does.

I have them set up as my Amazon smile beneficiary, as I bought my first house this year, my last statement was a good 3 figureslaugh

The second Yorkshire air Ambulance was kicked off by the fund raising of PH . My money goes to the RNLI , Forces charities and cancer charities.

We provide free track days at Silverstone and rally days at Bill Gwynne Rallyschool to drivers who require adaptions (hand controls/left foot throttle).

I run it for free and everyone involved is a volunteer. That way we are fully transparent and all the money is spent on beneficiaries and not staff.

They close children’s homes and place the kids in small family homes.


On the other hand, perhaps we should do a PH fundraiser and split it between chosen charities?

If anyone's happy to do the logistics of running it, then I'm more than happy to contribute towards it! Already some worthy charities mentioned imo.
