Ben Encourages Automotive Industry to Prioritise Health and Wellbeing in 2025

Ben, the automotive charity, is providing a range of resources and services to help industry professionals improve their health and wellbeing as they head into 2025.

The New Year often brings mixed emotions, with some feeling energised to set goals while others struggle with the pressure of resolutions or personal challenges. To address this, Ben offers free, confidential support tailored to the needs of automotive professionals and their families, ensuring no one has to face difficulties alone.

Support Through Life Coaching

For those seeking personal growth or lifestyle improvements, Ben’s Life Coaching service is a powerful resource. These free sessions pair individuals with qualified coaches who help identify areas for improvement, set achievable goals, and support participants in their journey. Whether it’s balancing work and home life, improving eating habits, or building confidence, life coaching can lead to lasting, positive change.

Rachel Clift, Ben’s Chief Executive Officer, highlighted the value of this support, saying:
"Our free Life Coaching service is just what you need if you’re feeling stuck or want to make improvements. Our coaches are amazing, helping people realise and achieve their goals."

Improving Wellbeing Through Activity

Physical activity is a cornerstone of good health, and Ben is encouraging automotive professionals to take part in their 2025 events, ranging from treks and runs to cycling and swimming. Research has shown that exercise improves mental health, reduces stress, and boosts overall wellbeing. These events also give participants the chance to give back, with funds raised going towards Ben’s life-changing services.

Giving Back to Improve Mental Health

Volunteering is another effective way to improve mental wellbeing. According to research, 77% of volunteers reported that giving back positively impacted their mental health. By participating in Ben’s initiatives, automotive professionals can contribute to their industry community while enhancing their own sense of fulfilment.

Blue Monday and Mental Health Awareness

With Blue Monday (20 January) approaching, Ben is reminding automotive families that they are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, Ben’s confidential helpline is available for immediate support.

Rachel Clift added:
"We want everyone in our industry to know that, if you’re struggling or in crisis, we’re here for you. Sign up to receive regular tips, advice, and tools to help you navigate your health and wellbeing."
