Automotive industry charity Ben has shared a number of ways for those working in the sector to improve their health and wellbeing in 2025.
While the start of a new year can be a positive time for some, it can also prove challenging. With Blue Monday approaching on 20th January, Ben is highlighting its readiness to help those working in the automotive industry who may be struggling.
The charity is also looking to help people live life well by enhancing their health and wellbeing.
Be prepared with Ben
January is also a time when people consider making lifestyle changes and set new goals. Ben’s free Life Coaching service supports automotive people to make positive changes in their lives, whether at work or home.
Ben’s qualified Life Coaches work with individuals to identify areas of their lives they would like to improve, set goals and support them towards achieving them. Coaching helps people boost their confidence and make lifestyle improvements including eating habits and work-life balance. Find out more about Ben’s Life Coaching Service here.
Research suggests that ‘giving back’ supports mental health and wellbeing, with 77% of volunteers in a national survey saying that volunteering improved their mental health and wellbeing.
Physical endeavours
Physical activity is also one of the best ways to improve all aspects of health and wellbeing, so with this in mind, Ben is encouraging automotive people to get involved in some exciting events this year. With everything from trekking and running to cycling and swimming, there is something for everyone to take part in. Do it 4 Ben and make a difference this year by following this link.
The funds raised from events enable Ben to continue providing life-changing, and life-saving, support for its automotive family when they are struggling, or in crisis.
“We know that January can be a positive time for some but challenging for others,” said Rachel Clift, Ben’s Chief Executive Officer. “First and foremost, we want everyone in our industry to know that, if you are struggling or in crisis, we’re here for you.
“At this time of year, there is obviously a lot of talk about New Year’s resolutions and setting goals which can be difficult to stick to in the long-term – so let us support you with that. If you are feeling stuck or want to make improvements in your work or home life, our free Life Coaching service is just what you need. Our coaches are amazing, they help people realise and achieve their goals.
“We also have some fantastic events happening this year which might tick the box for many of our automotive family in terms of giving back, increasing physical activity levels and enhancing overall health and wellbeing.”
