Cobra Cars NI Drive Forward with New Charity Partnership Supporting PIPS Hope and Support

Cobra Cars NI have officially launched a new charity partnership with leading local suicide prevention and mental health charity, PIPS Hope and Support.

Proprietors of Cobra Cars NI, Chris McGrath and Ciaran McKendry, recently met with representatives from PIPS Hope and Support to learn more about the charity’s vital work across the community. Deeply moved by the services PIPS Hope and Support provide and recognising the growing need for accessible mental health and crisis intervention support, Chris and Ciaran made the decision to select PIPS Hope and Support as their official charity partner for the next twelve months.

Speaking at the launch of the partnership, Chris McGrath said: “We were incredibly impressed with the dedication and compassion shown by the team at PIPS. The work they do—supporting individuals and families in their darkest moments—is both essential and inspiring. At Cobra Cars, we are proud to use our platform to help raise awareness and funds for this life-saving cause, and we’re committed to doing all we can to support their efforts throughout the year.”

Echoing Chris’s sentiments, Ciaran McKendry added: “Mental health can affect anyone at anytime, and the services PIPS Hope and Support provide are more important now than ever. We believe in giving back to the community that supports us, and partnering with PIPS Hope and Support gives us a meaningful way to do just that. We’re really looking forward to what we can achieve together over the next year.”

Padraig Harte, Fundraising, Marketing and Communications Manager at PIPS Hope and Support, expressed his gratitude: “We are truly appreciative and delighted to have been selected by Cobra Cars NI as their charity partner. Support from local businesses is vital for us to continue providing free and immediate crisis intervention, counselling, and bereavement support to individuals and families across the Upper Bann, Newry, Mourne & Down, and Southern Trust areas. We wish Cobra Cars every success and look forward to working closely with Chris, Ciaran and the team in the months ahead.”
