Company donates car on National BEN Week

ACF Car Finance Limited, whose flagship branch is in Walsall, is strengthening its support towards automotive industry charity, BEN, after donating a car to raise funds for National BEN Week.

The company will be joining in the celebrations for the National BEN Week Campaign (16-23 July) after making the donation to the Walsall branch of British Car Auctions to help raise vital funds.

British Car Auctions are donating £1 for every car sold through their centres during the week and will be undertaking numerous fundraising activities throughout the week, all over the UK.

Norman Beaumont, Sales and Marketing Director of ACF Car Finance, commented: “We are delighted to show our continued support towards BEN and help raise funds towards the vital work they do. It is important during National BEN Week that automotive related companies come together to raise awareness of the very important work that the charity does and raise much needed income. Every penny counts.”

The donation follows a successful sky dive, completed by ACF Car Finance Marketing Manager, Jane Whittle. Jane completed the sky dive on Sunday 14th June at the Black Knights Parachute Centre, near Lancaster, raising just under £1,000 for BEN.

BEN is the automotive and partner industries own charity, which offers help, support, financial assistance and advice to over 15,000 people in their own homes every year. The benevolent fund also provides a home to over 350 disabled and elderly people in one of four nursing and residential centres. Any individual who works or has worked in one of the industries BEN encompasses is eligible for help along with their dependants.
