The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Big Noise Govanhill, which is a community music programme, on providing almost 1,000 meals and snacks for children over summer 2024; notes that its free summer holiday club reached hundreds of children and young people in the area, offering music lessons, activities and hot food; understands that the programme, which aims to tackle poverty and disadvantage through music and nurturing relationships, provides a safe, social space for families during school holidays, enabling parents to work or study; acknowledges that it collaborated with Queens Park FC, Independent Arts, the Sound Lab and the National Galleries of Scotland to provide a variety of games, arts projects, DJ classes and a photography project; recognises that high school participants from the area joined Sistema’s first national symphony orchestra, Big Noise United Orchestra, to perform with it for the first time, and notes that they also attended a free residential course to help boost their skills and confidence, at which the charity provided daily hot food and treats, including ice cream.
