The Ben Ball raised more than £120,000 to support colleagues struggling or in a crisis.
More than 600 guests attended the event, which was held at Old Billingsgate Market, London, on 7 December, when Ben revealed the sharp rise in demand for its services amidst the current cost-of-living crisis.
Matt Wigginton, Director of Partnerships, Engagement & Income at Ben, said, “I’m blown away by the support we’ve received at this year’s Ben Ball. It really is tough times out there for everyone at the moment, so this means the world to us and those we support. All funds raised will go to supporting those in the industry who are struggling right now – and people really are struggling. This support is life-changing and life-saving. People are having to make an impossible choice between eating or heating this winter and that’s a choice no-one should have to make.
“It was also fantastic to celebrate the year together and show the automotive community we care and that, together, we’re committed to helping people get through their darkest days.”
