Thank you so much for supporting our Cocoons Special NI Fundraising Night where we're raising money for Mencap NI and the Titanic Tigers Special Olympics Club!

These two organisations are both very close to my heart as they have helped my son Dabhóg. They're both doing amazing work here in Northern Ireland and both in need of our support in these strange times we're living in.

Margaret Kelly, Director of Mencap NI says: "This has been an incredibly difficult time for so many of our children and families. They have faced the loss of routine, the loss of much of their existing support and hugely increased levels of anxiety and isolation. We are working extra hard to provide the support they need and cannot thank everyone enough for your support at this time.

Brian McGuigan from the Titanic Tigers adds "We are blown away by this fundraiser - Dabhóg has been with the club since its inception.. This will help us to provide a fun sporting environment for children with an intellectual difficulty when the club restarts again in hopefully the near future.

I also just want to say a special thanks to the amazing local artists, Ryan McMullan, JC Stewart, Duke Special, Amy Montgomery and Matt McGinn who are joining the special Cocoons Special Live Fundraising night. The line up for is as strong as you could ever hope for in the real world and every artist is born and bred right here in Northern Ireland.

There's gonna be Cocoons all over the world rockin out on Friday 8th May for two great causes. It's safe to say I'm very excited and you should be too
