Congratulating Sistema Scotland's Big Noise Douglas Programme

Lodged by Michael Marra (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 21 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the charity, Sistema Scotland, on a successful evaluation of its Big Noise Douglas programme in Dundee; recognises what it sees as the tireless work of the organisation across the country; notes that Big Noise Douglas was established in 2017 and currently engages with more than 500 children; recognises that the evaluation, which was carried out by researchers at the University of Dundee, found the programme had a range of positive effects on children, families and the community as it provides children with opportunities to express themselves, learn new skills in a fun and safe environment, as well as impacting on parents’ involvement in their child’s development; notes that the report concludes that Big Noise Douglas is on track to achieve further impacts in the future, and wishes the team at Big Noise Douglas and Sistema Scotland well for the future in supporting what it understands are some of Scotland’s most disadvantaged children and young people.
