PIPS Hope & Support have received a donation of £1,905.35, raised through a recent highly successful Drive into Light event, organised by Petrolhedz. The event brought together car enthusiasts and community members for an evening of fun, all in support of raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention—key causes championed by PIPS Hope & Support.
Many participants turned out to show their support, making it a truly memorable occasion. The stunning array of vehicles on display, combined with the enthusiastic crowd, created a positive and energetic atmosphere that underscored the event’s core message: the importance of supporting mental health initiatives.
Padraig Harte, Fundraising, Marketing, and Communications Manager with PIPS Hope & Support, expressed his gratitude, stating, "We are incredibly thankful for this donation. The funds raised will go a long way in supporting the vital services we provide to individuals and families dealing with the challenges of mental health issues and suicide. Events like Drive into Light not only help us raise essential funds but also raise awareness, which is crucial in the fight against the stigma."
A special thanks goes out to Brian and Kelly whose dedication and leadership in organising the Drive into Light event were instrumental in its success. Their passion for mental health advocacy was evident in every detail of the event, and their efforts are deeply appreciated by everyone at PIPS Hope & Support.
Brian and Kelly’s commitment to mental health awareness, along with the entire Petrolhedz team, played a vital role in ensuring the event was both impactful and enjoyable for all who attended.
Brian shared his thoughts on the success of the event: "We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved with this event. It was amazing to see the community come together for such an important cause. Mental health is something that affects everyone, and we wanted to make sure that the message of support and awareness came through loud and clear. Raising £1,905.35 for PIPS Hope & Support means so much to us, knowing it will go towards helping people in our community who need it most. Our thanks and appreciation to the many sponsors who supported the logistics of the event."
The donation will directly support PIPS Hope & Support’s range of services, including crisis counselling, suicide prevention training, and outreach programmes aimed at promoting mental health and wellbeing within the local community. With the increasing demand for services, donations like this enable the charity to expand its reach and provide timely support to those most in need.
