Hit the beach with BEN and celebrate our birthday!

Ever wish you could be on the beach instead of at your desk? Well now's your chance to bring the beach to work! This year National BEN Week (13-19 July) is taking on a beach theme, so get your shorts and flip flops on and help us celebrate BEN's 104th birthday!

Last year National BEN Week was a huge success. Hundreds of you took part, either by holding your own event or by simply sending in your contributions. Together we raised a whopping £15,243.13! We want to see if we can beat that amount this year, by asking you to raise £104 each - that's a pound for every year that BEN has been there to support those in need in our industries.

From organising an office beach ball tournament to having a fish and chips lunch with your workmates, there are loads of fun ways you can raise money. All we ask is that you let us know what you get up to. And if you send us your photos, we'll make sure to include them on the BEN Week Blog!
