Earlier this year, Ben Hiscox - an avid footballer and a valued member of the SafetyLiftinGear sales team - was killed in a footballing accident at the age of 30. In the wake of Ben's tragic passing, we set up the Ben Hiscox Memorial Fund to honour his memory and provide financial support for those he left behind. Our aim was to raise £10,000, and we are pleased to announce that this target has now been reached.
The grand total was £10,155.54, which was presented to Ben's partner Zoe Mathews last week (see photo above). This money will be used to:
- Support Ben's family during this very difficult time
- Place a memorial bench for Ben in Stoke Gifford
- Donate to Headway, a brain injury charity that would have helped Ben to recover from his injury had the circumstances been different
We would like to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone who donated - we know that Ben's family were devastated by his death, and his presence is sorely missed here at SafetyLiftinGear.
If you would like to donate to the Ben Hiscox Memorial Fund, you can do so here.
