BEN Receives Award from Lord Austin Trust

The Trustees of the Lord Austin's Will Trust have made an award to BEN following a grant application made earlier this year. In accepting this special monetary award, BEN's Director of Fundraising and Communications, Charles Davis, thanked the Trust for considering BEN which is the only occupational charity for those who work or have worked in the automotive and related industries. Founded in 1905, the Charity provides practical help, support, advice and friendship to more than 15,000 men and women and their families every year. In addition BEN provides a home to over 350 individuals who reside in one of its four residential centres in the UK and offers day care facilities at its centre in Coventry.
