Story

The Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation is raising funds to bring performances of ‘I Love You, Mum – I Promise I Won’t Die’ to Northern Ireland schools, performed and directed by Ever Unique Productions who are based in NI.

I Love You, Mum’ is a powerful piece of verbatim theatre, written by acclaimed playwright Mark Wheeller. It tells the story of Daniel Spargo-Mabbs who tragically died at the age of 16 from an overdose of MDMA in 2014, charting what happened to Dan, the decisions he made, and how it affected his family and friends – from tragedy to redemption – and all told in their own words.

The full-length play, published by Bloomsbury in February 2017, has been a GCSE Drama set text in England and Wales since 2022. A shorter theatre-in-education (TIE) version, specially adapted by the playwright, has now been performed almost 600 times since 2017 in schools and colleges across England and Scotland to more than 123,000 students. Yet is not available currently to Northern Irish students.

We’re very much hoping that this will be the start of expanding our reach in Northern Ireland, and to see if our evidence-based programme would be useful to young people, schools and families. We’re incredibly grateful to the Larchfield Christmas Fair team for choosing us as their charity in 2024 and their support for our work, and our vision to ensure all young people across the UK have access to effective drug education.

We envisage that this will be the start of expanding our reach in Northern Ireland, with our evidence-based programme providing support to young people, schools and families. We’re incredibly grateful to the Christmas Fair @ Larchfield Estate (4th and 5th November) for choosing us as their charity in 2024 and their support for our work, and our vision to ensure all young people across the UK have access to effective drug education.

Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation

The Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation is a drug and alcohol education charity that aims to support young people to make safe choices about drugs and alcohol and reduce harm. We do this through increasing understanding of the effects and risks, and helping to develop life skills and resilience. The Foundation was set up in January 2014 by Tim and Fiona Spargo-Mabbs in response to the death of their 16-year-old son Daniel having taken ecstasy.
