Draper Tools has announced a new partnership with Ben, the automotive industry charity. The partnership kicked off with a visit from Ben representatives to Draper’s Hampshire head office on 8th May 2024. During the visit, Draper Tools presented a special donation of £10,000 to the charity.
Ben is dedicated to supporting the people of the automotive industry, providing support for life for them and their family dependents. Speaking about the new partnership Sarah Hartland, Head of Marketing at Draper Tools commented:
“We are incredibly proud to partner with Ben and support the vital work they do. As a business working closely with the automotive industry, we’ve experienced firsthand what a close-knit, hard-working community this is and we wanted to give something back. It’s been inspiring to learn about Ben’s comprehensive support system, addressing everything from mental health to physical well-being, both areas we’re deeply committed to. This partnership is just the beginning, and we look forward to collaborating with Ben further in future.”
Staff at Draper Tools have embraced the partnership too, holding a series of fundraising activities alongside the charity’s visit to head office. With a quiz, cake sale and games taking place throughout the day, the company’s staff successfully raised over £400 of additional funds for Ben.
Matt Wigginton, Director of Partnerships, Engagement & Income at Ben, said: “We’re delighted that Draper Tools is partnering with Ben, and would like to give our heartfelt thanks for this generous donation. The generosity of businesses, and their employees, helps ensure Ben is always there for those who are struggling or in crisis, and Draper Tools’ commitment will make a life-changing difference. Together, we will support our automotive family when they face life’s toughest challenges.”
