The initiative provides practical, emotional and financial support to families struggling with the rising costs of food, household bills, school uniforms and childcare.
Ben responded to more than 14,000 enquiries over the past year as automotive workers increasingly sought support for stress, financial hardship and wellbeing concerns.
Ben has introduced a new men’s health awareness course to help automotive employers support the wellbeing of a predominantly male workforce.
It will help families with the cost of bills, food, school uniforms, and opportunities for days out and activities.
The guide offers practical strategies for employers, insight into key mental health concerns in the workforce, and guidance on how to support individuals effectively.
Mental health scores have worsened over the past 12 months, and automotive workers believe employers must do more to support them.
Automotive charity Ben has introduced new neurodiversity-focused support programmes and resources to meet growing demand and raise awareness across the sector.
