Compelling New Research in Scotland

Many years of research by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health on Big Noise Govenhill provide the deepest evidence of our field’s social and economic impact. Their new report offers significant findings, such as: “For every £1 invested, Big Noise is estimated to generate significant return over a ten-year period: £3.25 of societal benefit in Glasgow, £3.94 across the wider region, and £5.99 at the Scotland-wide level. These benefits reflect improved wellbeing and engagement, reduced antisocial behaviour, increased community participation, and the economic value of volunteering.”
