Ben has invited its automotive family to get involved in Christmas Jumper Day this December and has also released its Christmas card collection to raise funds which will support those struggling or in crisis.
The Christmas Jumper Day fundraiser will take place on 13th December, or any day that month. To take part, participants need to sign up, share the date with colleagues/friends and wear their best (or worst) Christmas jumper on the day. Christmas Jumper Day is the ideal opportunity to get colleagues together in the workplace to have some festive fun and raise funds by donating £3 per person – the cost of a coffee.
This year, Ben will be celebrating 35 years of Christmas cards designed by renowned motoring artist, Richard Wheatland, and is marking this special milestone by selling Richard’s first three card designs from 1989, 1990 and 1991. There will also be an automotive design for this year’s card so there’s plenty to appeal to avid Wheatland collectors and new buyers alike.
Matt Wigginton, Director of Partnerships, Engagement & Income, said: “We hope our whole automotive family will get involved in Ben’s festivities this year! Christmas Jumper Day is such an easy one to get involved in and will help your company get into the festive spirit – you could even give away prizes for the best (and worst!) Christmas jumpers and raffle a Ben bear too. You can now also buy your Ben Christmas cards with a new and very special design by Richard Wheatland for 2024.
“We are still seeing record numbers of people turning to Ben in desperation because they can’t afford the basics. It’s still really tough out there and many people in our automotive family urgently need us. Together, we can make a life-changing, often life-saving, difference to the lives of our automotive family so please get involved today.”
Ben also wants to ensure automotive people know they can turn to Ben if they need support. Don’t suffer in silence, contact its helpline 08081 311 333 or use its webchat at www.ben.org.uk. Ben’s out of hours text support line can also be accessed by texting BEN to 85258.
