In 2017, researchers from Glasgow Centre for Population Health found that Big Noise Torry is a large scale, high quality social intervention which is positively impacting on the children's lives.
This report documents the findings of an initial phase of evaluation assessing the delivery and impacts of Sistema Scotland’s Big Noise Torry programme in Aberdeen. The impacts of the programme on participants have been assessed from a variety of perspectives including those of the children, parents/guardians, school staff, Big Noise staff and volunteers, and delivery partners who we work closely with.

This evaluation in Torry provides evidence supporting Sistema Scotland’s approaches to delivery: the impacts of the programme at this stage in 2017 are consistently positive. What is also certain is that there is remarkable consistency between the nature of the impacts observed within Big Noise Torry and those evidenced in the Big Noise programmes in Govanhill and Raploch.
If these early impacts continue to be built upon through consistent programme engagement, there is potential to enhance participants’ lives, prospects, health and wellbeing through a variety of well-defined and measurable pathways in the long term.
