In 2021 Sam Bailey partnered with renowned artist Steven Brown on an art project to raise awareness of autism and help raise funds for the National Autism Society.
‘Tommy McCoo’ is a special addition to Brown’s famous ‘McCoos’ collection and came to fruition after Sam’s son Tommy was diagnosed with Autism and Dyspraxia in 2020.
