Incredible statistics!! Proud to be a part of it

It is time for our termly data drop, and we are starting with the play. Last term, there were an amazing three play tours that involved performances of 'I Love You, Mum - I Promise I Won't Die' that we commissioned, and this meant that around 16,500 people (most of them students) saw Dan's story told in the words of his family and friends, and gained vital knowledge about drugs and staying safe strategies through the specially designed workshop that follows.

A huge thank you to TiE It Up Theatre who put on tours of London and the rest of England, and to Ever Unique Productions who toured Northern Ireland. We are very grateful to all the organisations who helped financially support performances, and to anyone and everyone who has donated to our work as we always need to dip into our reserves to subsidise play tours, as they are the most expensive part of our provision.

And of course none of this would be possible without the courage of Dan's family and friends who agreed to be interviewed by playwright Mark Wheeller of Wheellerplays - The plays of Mark Wheeller and for their words to be used to tell the story of a boy who was lost far too soon, in order that other young people get the chance to learn from his story.

As the play itself says: a good thing that has come from this very bad thing.

1 director, 5 actors, 17 days, 32 performances, 1,786 miles travelled in the van and 4,786 students reached… but only 1 goal, to spread the story of Dan and Jeni as far as we could!

After the success of our first tour of ‘I Love You Mum - I Promise I Won’t Die’ in 2025, we knew we needed to head out again and keep spreading the message of drug related risk. However, it wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing team. Thank you to:

- All the team at DSM for your continued support and guidance, it means the world to fly your flag over here in NI!
- Fiona, Tim and Sandra Larmour for trusting us to tell your children’s stories.
- All of our funders, 6 PCSPs, the John Wilson Memorial Trust and self funded schools.
- All the schools, staff and students who welcomed us in over the course of the tour.
- Mark Wheeller for providing us with the incredible script
- Everyone on social media who has shared and cheered us on these last few week

And FINALLY, last but certainly not least… our team of actors, Cathal, Eimear, Tiarnán and Lucy who helped us bring the play to life. Thank you all 🙌

We have loved being on the road and we are already putting plans in place for next year. But for now... Team Dan NI is checking out for a well deserved rest.

All our love, Hannah and Martina x
