Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket was proud to join fellow members of the automotive industry in raising money for the automotive charity, BEN, by wearing hats to work to promote awareness about the growing potential for mental health issues to affect industry colleagues both at work and at home.

Members of staff, based at Schaeffler’s Minworth and Hereford offices, delved into their wardrobes and cupboards to find a hat for the occasion before making a donation to the not-for-profit organisation.

Schaeffler’s REPXPERT Twitter page – @REPXPERT_UK – was crammed with photos from the day and the company shared the images with other members of the automotive industry on social media by adding the hashtag #HatsOn4MentalHealth, which was trending on Twitter on the Friday afternoon of the special day.

BEN exists to provide support to automotive industry employees and their families, with the aim of making a positive difference to their lives. You can make a donation at  www.justgiving.com/BEN
