Ben moves Ben annual dinner to new venue

Automotive charity Ben has moved its annual Ben Ball dinner from the Roundhouse in Camden to Old Billingsgate Market.

The event will be held this year on Wednesday 7 December, supported by AutoTrader.

Over 600 automotive industry figures attended the 2021 event, which raised over £96,500 – one of the highest totals ever achieved at a Ben Ball.

Matt Wigginton, director of partnerships, engagement and income at Ben, said: “Together, once again, we did something extraordinary at the 2021 Ben Ball.

The staggering amount of funds raised helps Ben continue to provide life-saving support to those in our automotive family who most need it, and it can’t be overstated how much those donations will help people who turn to us when they are struggling or in crisis.

“Over the last 2 years, we’ve seen support requests double, and the cases that we are seeing are more complex and urgent than we’ve experienced before.

Ben Ball is a critical fundraising event for us – not only does it bring in vital donations, but it also gives us the chance to thank those who have helped us achieve so much during the year, and to show how we use their donations to change people’s lives.

“We can’t wait to welcome you to our new venue – Old Billingsgate Market – this December for the automotive industry event of the year.”
