Following the huge success of last year’s Big Breakfast event, Ben, the automotive industry charity, is
bringing the nationwide fundraising initiative back for 2022, aiming to raise even more life-saving
donations to support those in the automotive community who are struggling or in crisis.
The week-long event will kick off on World Mental Health Day, 10 October, the perfect excuse for
colleagues to connect over a coffee, catch up over a croissant or bond over a bacon butty.
Companies are invited to host a Ben’s Big Breakfast event from 10-16 October and encourage their
team, customers, friends and family to bring, bake or make a delicious breakfast spread, selling their
goodies to raise money for those in our automotive family who need Ben’s help. Ben will also
provide a Ben Bear to those hosting a Big Breakfast to raffle off and boost the fundraising efforts.
Matt Wigginton, Director of Partnerships, Engagement & Income at Ben, said: “It’s official. The
automotive industry loves a breakfast. Over 200 locations took part in last year’s inaugural Ben’s Big
Breakfast – an unprecedented amount – so we knew we had to bring it back in 2022 and aim to
reach even more automotive businesses!
“The Big Breakfast is such a simple way to raise funds, but it’s also an important reminder to check in
with our colleagues. Having a chat over a cup of coffee in the morning could make such a difference
to someone’s day without you even realising it. Often, people are suffering in silence, thinking that
nobody has noticed or cares about them. A small gesture like catching up over a cuppa could change
that. It could be the first step to them opening up, or reaching out to Ben for help.”
