Sometimes an old vehicle still has one very important journey left to make.

Later this month, Graham is taking on his tenth convoy to Ukraine—a convoy comprised of donated vehicles that, in November, once serviced and prepared, will go to the paint shop and then on to the frontline where mobility is key to saving lives.

The not-for-profit organisation he volunteers with is Car4Ukraine. This month, they took delivery of their 1,000th vehicle. Can you help them reach their next milestone?

Do you know of any vehicles that have a valid MOT and are capable of the 1,200+ mile drive to Lviv? Initially, the focus was on large SUVs, but now all vehicle types are being allocated across multiple roles.

Maybe one of your customers is upgrading and doesn't know what to do with their old car, or perhaps you can source one that you would like to donate or take to Ukraine—either on your own or in a future convoy.

Graham has been in the motor trade all his life and found a way to use his skills to help a country in desperate need.

If you think you can assist, contact Graham Gent, or feel free to reach out to Gavin, a fellow volunteer who has joined him on several convoys, on 07803 278236.

At Car for Ukraine we source, upgrade and deliver cars to the frontlines in Ukraine.

When a local family turns unimaginable grief into a force for change, it’s our duty as a community to stand behind them.

Natalie lost her beautiful 13-year-old daughter, Ella, to su***de. In Ella’s memory, Natalie is courageously fighting for Ella’s Law—a petition advocating for mandatory, timely su***de risk assessments by trained professionals whenever a child or young person expresses intent to end their life.

No child’s mental health care should ever depend on luck, and no family should have to endure this heartbreak. One conversation, one assessment, and one simple change can protect young lives and save futures.

We at Gent’s Garage are asking our followers, friends, and local community to spend 30 seconds signing and sharing this petition.

Together, we can help get Ella’s Law debated in Parliament and create lasting protection for our children.

💜 Sign the petition here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/761817

💜 Learn more & support Natalie’s journey: https://www.tiktok.com/?_r=1&_t=ZN-99nw7kt9o4k

For Ella. For all young people. For families everywhere.

Thank you.

Make full su***de risk assessments mandatory when a child in hospital care expresses intent to harm themselves. No child asking for help should be left without support.

Fifty Years of Grit, Heart, and Drive: Happy 50th Birthday, Graham!

Half a century on the clock, and Graham is still running at peak performance.

Back in the early 2000s—when Gent’s Garage first opened its doors—Graham set out to build more than just a repair shop. He built a hub grounded in reliability, honest service, and genuine passion for the trade.
Decades later, that vision is stronger than ever. Graham is the ultimate backbone of the business: fiercely loyal, tirelessly hard-working, and always putting the workshop and his team first to make sure everyone succeeds together.

If you know Graham, you know his generosity doesn't stop at the garage doors. He’s a genuine soul who never hesitates to lend a hand for a good cause, especially when there’s a proper challenge involved. He loves a good project, whether that means wrenching in the shop or putting his skills to work on a global scale. Driving convoy vehicles directly to Ukraine for Cars for Ukraine is just one testament to his character and his willingness to go the extra mile—literally—for people in need.

When he isn’t steering the garage or driving relief missions, he’s usually out pushing his own limits. Whether he’s hitting the pavement for a run or putting miles on his bike, his passion for fitness proves that turning 50 is just a milestone, not a speed limit.

Graham, thank you for your unwavering dedication, your leadership, and the endless energy you bring to everything you tackle. Here’s to 50 fantastic years, and to many more miles, projects, and successes ahead.

Happy 50th Birthday!

Huge congratulations are in order for Jack Ivory, who has been smashing out one of the most grueling physical and mental challenges imaginable! 🏃‍♂️💨

Jack has officially completed 30 marathons in 30 days—a staggering 786 miles of non-stop dedication, pure grit, and sore legs—all to raise vital funds and awareness for The Bee Kind Wellbeing Project.

📍 The Grand Finale Details

Want to show your support in person for his final stretch? Here is the plan for today:

• Where: Gillingham Golf Club (Woodlands Road, Gillingham, Kent, ME7 2AP)

• When: The last 5km kicks off at 7:20 PM and finishes at the golf club at 8:00 PM.

• What to expect: You don't have to run to join in! There is plenty of parking, and there will be options to wear The Bee Kind Project tops.

• The Afterparty: The bar will be open before and after the run, so feel free to arrive early or stay late. Jack will be stopping by the bar afterward—rumor has it he might even treat himself to a slush puppy! 🥤💪

🐝 About The Bee Kind Wellbeing Project

For those who don't know, this amazing community-led movement is dedicated to improving mental health and emotional wellbeing. They focus on creating a softer, more compassionate world by building safe spaces (both online and offline) where people can slow down, connect, and heal through mindfulness, peer support, and nature.

They work tirelessly to break isolation and ensure that mental health support is accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

Jack, the entire Gent’s Garage community is incredibly proud of you. Taking on a challenge like this shows exactly the kind of character you have, and the ripple effect of what you've done will genuinely help change lives.

🏃‍♂️💪 A Teynham man is taking on an extraordinary challenge by running 30 marathons in 30 days to raise money for a mental health charity.

Self-employed mortgage adviser Jack Ivory, 27, has been setting his alarm for 2am and running 26 miles from his home to Gillingham and back before starting work each day. Since June 2, he has already clocked up hundreds of miles – and admits he's feeling "knackered" but determined to keep going.

❤️ Jack is raising money for the Bee Kind Project after opening up about his own mental health struggles following a break-up. He says finally talking to a family member helped him through a difficult period and inspired him to support others facing similar challenges.

🚔 Founded by police officer Aimee Langwith, the charity provides men's mental health drop-ins, women's circles, wellbeing sessions for emergency service workers, mindfulness workshops and community events.

🏅 This isn't Jack's first attempt at the challenge. He reached day 24 in 2022 before catching Covid, but this year he's determined to complete all 30 marathons – more than 780 miles in total.

🥤 And when it's all over? Jack says he's craving just one thing: a well-earned Slush Puppie! To support his fundraising effort, click on the link in the comments below. 👇
