Motor industry charity Ben is being ‘inundated’ with calls from employees in the motor sector struggling with the cost of living.
The charity said that in its recent health and wellbeing survey, it found that 1 in 5 automotive people are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living, with energy, petrol and food bills at an all-time high.
One of the tools that Ben offers to those seeking support is access to its free Life Coaching service.
Ben’s specially-trained Life Coaches work closely with individuals to help them to better plan and budget, and devise strategies to improve their relationship with money, putting them in a stronger position to be in control of their finances now, and in the future.
Rachel Clift, health and wellbeing director at Ben, said: “Our Life Coaching service is designed to empower people – to give them the tools and strategies to improve their lives and achieve their goals. It’s free, it’s confidential and it’s working. We are already seeing people benefiting from the service, taking control of things that have been challenging them, and moving their lives forward in a positive and confident way.
“We are inundated with calls at the moment from people who are struggling with the rising cost of living. There is no shame in asking for help. In fact, it is the most sensible thing to do – we have Life Coaches ready to help you to fix your finances and money worries, giving you a stronger foundation to build from in the future. Take the first step towards making a positive life change and get in touch today.”
Ben’s Life Coaching service is free for anyone who works, or has worked, in the automotive industry. Those needing help can chat online or call the helpline on 08081 311 333 (Mon-Fri 8am-8pm).
