BEN is the Motor and Allied Trades Benevolent Fund, the only occupational charity for those who work or have worked in the automotive and related industries. Founded in 1905, the Fund provides practical help, support, advice and friendship to more than 15,000 men and women and their families every year. In addition BEN provides a home to over 350 individuals who reside in one of its four residential centres in the UK and offers day care facilities at its centre in Coventry.

BEN has also been afforded the opportunity to distribute Exhibitors' Show Guides for a minimum donation of £1 to all those individuals attending the Show who have not pre-registered with the Organisers. All income from these donations will go directly towards supporting the Charity’s welfare work.

BEN will be launching its Honda National Draw at the CV and ATS Show. Honda has kindly donated a Honda VFR 800 motorcycle as the prize for BEN's National Draw.
