<p><strong>BEN is the UK’s only charity for those who work, or have worked, in the automotive and related industries, as well as their dependants. </strong></p>
<p>Whether it's <a href="http://www.ben.org.uk/BEN/en/get-help/support-and-advice/">practical, emotional or financial support</a> that you need, Ben are there to help in whatever way they can. Ben also have a range of <a href="http://www.ben.org.uk/BEN/en/care-centres/ben-care-centres/">care centres</a> across the country to care for older people in our communities.</p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.ben.org.uk/BEN/en/volunteer/">volunteering</a> or attending our <a href="http://www.ben.org.uk/BEN/en/events/events-landing-page/">events</a>, to <a href="http://www.ben.org.uk/BEN/en/donate/">donating</a> or <a href="http://www.ben.org.uk/BEN/en/how-you-can-help-ben/how-you-can-help-ben/in-your-workplace/">raising awareness in your workplace</a>, there are plenty of ways to get involved. BEN is your industry charity, and it’s only thanks to the kindness of our supporters that we’re able to continue our vital work.</p>

<p>I and five of my work colleagues are doing a sponsored sky dive on 1st or 2nd October 2011 to help raise money for BEN. We need to raise £400 or more each to be able to carry out the skydive and raise enough funds to help support BEN & help them carry on helping others who work in the automotive industry suffering hardships.</p>
