Get involved The recession has forced the automotive industry charity BEN to cancel its annual lunch.
Founded in 1905, BEN provides help and advice to more than 15,000 men and women and their families every year. Chief executive David Main said: “We remain as grateful as ever to our supporters and hope they will understand why we have decided not to go ahead with the annual lunch. With our fund&ndashraising income declining due to the tough economic climate our priority has to be on handling the increased volume of people in need. We are sure that all of those who know BEN will appreciate our priorities. We hope to invite supporters to other events later this year to thank them for invaluable help.” We want your local stories, videos & pics.
