VAUXHALL Trade Club has dedicated a quarterly membership mailing to canvassing support for BEN, the motor and allied trades benevolent fund. It has asked its 62,000 members to sell tickets for BEN's national draw to win a Vauxhall Astra.

Last year's draw raised almost £50,000 and with Vauxhall Trade Club's first-time help, it is hoped BEN will beat that figure. BEN provides help and financial support for more than 8,000 people and has an annual turnover of £7 million, all of which must come through donation.
