Evans Halshaw Ford dealerships in Cardiff, Chester, Darlington, Hull and Preston raised £11,820 for four local charities in October and November.
The money raised went to the second wave of Ford’s national Drive 4 UR Community initiative.
The community-focused campaign offered motorists the opportunity to test drive the latest Ford vehicles, with £30 from Ford donated to each dealership’s chosen charity for every test drive completed.
The activity brings Evans Halshaw Ford’s total fundraising through the campaign in 2025 to £19,350 across eight dealerships
Evans Halshaw Ford Cardiff hosted its Drive 4 UR Community event in support of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital Chairty. Fifty test drives helped raise £1,500 for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital Wales, which supports vital medical equipment, improved facilities, and essential family support services.
Evans Halshaw Ford Chester raised £840 for The Hospice of the Good Shepherd through 28 test drives completed during their event. The Hospice provides specialist palliative care for people in Cheshire, South Wirral and North Wales.
