New service to support financial struggles

Automotive charity Ben has responded to the growing cost-of-living crisis with a free Life Coaching service available to anyone who is working or has worked in the sector.

Staffed by specially-trained Life Coaches, the service helps individuals to plan and budget, while working on a one-to-one basis to devise workable financial strategies.  

Rachel Clift, Health & Wellbeing Director at Ben, said, “Our Life Coaching service is designed to empower people – to give them the tools and strategies to improve their lives and achieve their goals. It’s free, it’s confidential and it’s working. We are already seeing people benefiting from the service, taking control of things that have been challenging them, and moving their lives forward in a positive and confident way.”

Ben has discovered that one in five automotive people are struggling to keep up with inflation, with energy, petrol and food bills at an all-time high.

Clift said, “We are inundated with calls at the moment from people who are struggling with the rising cost of living. There is no shame in asking for help. In fact, it is the most sensible thing to do – we have Life Coaches ready to help you to fix your finances and money worries, giving you a stronger foundation to build from in the future.”
