Cock Sparrer support Blackpool's vulnerable young people

It's summertime and as with every August, the excitement mounts as we get closer and closer to Rebellion. We've been cooking up something exciting for Sparrer fans this year and I wanted to tell you all about it.

The Rebellion punk festival is back at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, and this year festival headliners Cock Sparrer are helping raise money and awareness of local charity Streetlife.

This is the fourth time the band has headlined the festival and this year they decided that they wanted to give something back to the people of Blackpool. The band are raffling off the backdrop they will be using onstage to one lucky fan.

All proceeds raised will go to support Streetlife, a Blackpool charity which provides information, advice, support and counselling for vulnerable young people.

Singer Colin said, "We decided as a band that we wanted to do something to give back to the Blackpool community, and what better way than supporting an organisation like Streetlife who support those who need it most?"

"There are so many young people who find themselves in situations where they see no way out, whether it's issues with drugs, alcohol, mental health or homelessness. We're proud to be able to make a contribution to the work they do on behalf of our fans and the Rebellion community"
