We were delighted to welcome Deputy First Minister Jenny Gilruth MSP to Big Noise Fallin yesterday, where she met some of our brass superstars and heard more about the impact of Big Noise.
It was a great opportunity to share findings from our latest independent evaluation, which highlights how Big Noise supports children and young people to build confidence, wellbeing, skills and aspiration through music and long-term engagement.
We would like to say a huge thank you to the Scottish Government for their continued support of Big Noise and the young people, families and communities we work alongside.
Deputy First Minister Jenny Gilruth said:
"The Scottish Government is proud to have supported Sistema since 2012. This year we are providing £3.2 million to help support Sistema’s work in communities across Scotland.
Sistema Scotland’s work demonstrates the capacity of music to change lives, by inspiring children and young people and breaking down barriers to opportunity.
This report shows that projects like the Big Noise help to build confidence and develop interpersonal skills and creativity, which contributes to health and wellbeing in childhood through to adulthood."
