In this special Podcasthon episode of the UKMotorTalk Podcast, we talk about the work of BEN, the charity dedicated to supporting the people of the motor industry navigate through life's challenges, whether they be financial, mental or physical health, or care and support for those in later life. https://ben.org.uk/

Podcasthon https://podcasthon.org/ is an international non-profit initiative which coordinates as many podcasters as possible to dedicate an episode of their podcast between March 15 and 21st 2025 to a charity of their choice.

BEN seemed like the obvious choice for UKMotorTalk as both the charity and the motor industry are close to our hearts. As BEN says:

Our Mission:

Whether we are supporting someone in crisis, providing high quality care or working with our automotive industry partners to improve the health and wellbeing of the workforce, our mission is to make a positive difference to people’s lives.

We’re here to help people create a better tomorrow.
