Ben.org a prominent charity within the automotive industry, has launched an innovative initiative to enhance its visibility and extend its support services. The charity recently unveiled its "BenBus," a branded VW Transporter campervan, designed to increase awareness of its vital health and wellbeing services for those in the automotive sector.
The BenBus marks a significant step in Ben.org's efforts to connect with the automotive community. Already making rounds, the bus commenced its journey in Guildford, teaming up with the UK Garage and Body Shop crew. In a spirited move to combat Blue Monday's gloom, the "Ben on the road" team surprised local companies with spontaneous visits, offering food, drinks, and engaging activities. These efforts symbolize the charity's dedication to fostering community and support among automotive industry professionals.
Ellen Plumer, Head of Marketing and Outreach at Ben, expressed her enthusiasm about the BenBus project. "We're delighted to be unveiling our new BenBus which will raise further awareness about the vital services we provide for our automotive family. Visibility is hugely important as our team is on the road all year-round visiting companies to spread the word about Ben and see those who need to hear about their industry charity. Knowing about Ben can make all the difference," she stated.
The charity's proactive approach includes on-site visits to automotive employers, ensuring that employees and their families are aware of the support available to them. This initiative is part of Ben's broader mission to offer health and wellbeing services tailored specifically to those in the automotive industry.
In a bid to foster collaboration and support within the industry, Ben.org is offering automotive companies the opportunity to sponsor the BenBus. This initiative allows businesses to showcase their brand on the vehicle for a year, while also joining forces with the Ben team in outreach activities and customer visits. For more information on sponsoring the BenBus or arranging a visit from the team, interested parties are encouraged to visit www.ben.org.uk/BOTR.
