A military invasion in Rafah would be CATASTROPHIC. Almost 1.3 million people, including at least half a million children, are now crammed into this small city in #Gaza . There can be no more 'evacuations'. There is no safe place to go.

There must be a #CeasefireNOW 🚨

An example of the great work #CreativeCommunitiesGlasgow support 👇

'That was a glorious way to spend a lunch hour!'

The audience was full of praise for #BigNoiseTorry yesterday as they returned to Cowdray Hall in Aberdeen to perform as part of their Lunchtime Concert Series with talented young musician Szymon conducting too 🎶👏

URGENT: 200 Brand Street, Immigration Centre, Glasgow. Mother & 3 children detained, forced removal ‼️

More people needed ASAP with water, portable chargers, face masks to keep safe etc!

Another big moment for #BigNoiseTorry today, playing to a packed out Cowdray Hall in Aberdeen 🙌

Particular highlight in one of our young people taking on (and absolutely smashing) his first experience conducting the orchestra. Cool as a cucumber with it too 😎

Brilliant for our young people to be working alongside Scottish Youth Parliament on this important #UNCRC consultation. Getting into the detail of how to make full incorporation of children's rights a reality in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you to the team at Scottish Youth Parliament for visiting this week to support young people from #BigNoiseRaploch to explore their rights and learn more about the #UNCRC and Scottish Government's consultation on incorporating the treaty into Scots law 🪧💪 #YouthEmpowerment

A promo video for shameless cruelty. What a disgrace

📢 Great news!

For the first time, Scot Gov National Performance Framework Team has backed a new National Outcome on Care

70+ org backed this step in the A Scotland that Cares campaign #ScotlandCares

It must lead to action to end the injustice that too many people who look after someone live in #poverty

Brilliant role to work as part of a brilliant team at #BigNoiseGovanhill

Great turn out this morning for the first ever session of #BigNoise Douglas 's new adult traditional music group 🪕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎶

At #BigNoise it's not only about the kids - we provide safe and social places for the whole community to join in with the learning, music-making, and fun!

Elements attacked! 🫣⛈️ Each of our #BigNoise centres have holiday clubs and residentials which go way beyond the music 🌧😄

Great morning with this fantastic group of musicians. Some initial rehearsals in beautiful surroundings, sheltering from the rain before we attack the elements later 😀☔️

It was wonderful to share the Usher Hall stage with the talented young musicians of Sistema Scotland's Big Noise Wester Hailes at our concert last week. Congratulations to all involved on a great performance!

Children & young people literally running the show today! 💪

The Big Noise Takeover had young people from Raploch taking on ALL aspects of their Big Noise centre, including Teaching, Admin, Operations, Director & CEO.

Sistema Scotland is theirs - we're just there to facilitate!

Rehearsals - done! ✅️
This is the first opportunity for our Wester Hailes children to be playing alongside the fantastic Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
Primary 3 and primary 4 kids playing at the Usher Hall - and they fully deserve it!! Absolute stars 💫

Some excellent musician and senior musician roles going at our Big Noise centres in Torry, Douglas and Wester Hailes 🎶👇

Great campaign. So much evidence points to the impact of youth work-based approaches in supporting young people's education, but too often it's underfunded and undervalued. Glasgow Centre for Population Health evaluation of #BigNoiseRaploch is one important example of many of how #EducationNeedsYouthWork

This is a truly awful decision by Susan Aitken and the rest of Glasgow City Council

MCR pathways (and other similar supports) genuinely changes lives and given that it is delivered by volunteers if far more cost effective than other services.

Please email your councillor.
