Automotive charity Ben has unveiled its first newsletter dedicated to automotive employers.
The publication will highlight the services Ben offers to anyone who has worked or is working in the industry, while also sharing upcoming health and wellness awareness campaigns and other industry events.
Included in the first newsletter are details and contents under the Time to Talk Day banner, as well as Ben’s free online programme to help colleagues with money worries.
It also signposts Ben’s Benathlon fundraising event, which takes place throughout March and invites colleagues to complete 100 miles to raise £100 for the charity, as well as the wide range of interactive training around wellness in the workplace and ongoing support initiatives.
Ben has produced the newsletter in response to unprecedented demand for its services.
Since last April it has received upwards of 11,000 calls to its helpline and supported more than 2,700 individuals, both figures representing a 15% year-on-year increase.
The charity now estimates that as many as one in three people working within the industry are experiencing mental health challenges.
