Big Noise Yard Build

In The Making
Our purpose is to empower people through co-design and self-build. We believe that giving control to the community will mean their needs and desires are better served, leading to a stronger connection to place. It will also lead to a more sustainable outcome, both environmentally and socially.
Transformation of the back yard at Big Noise Govanhill
Our first project will be with the charity Sistema Scotland, at their Big Noise centre in Govanhill, Glasgow. At Big Noise, inspirational musicians work with children from nursery to school leaving age, using music as a means to build confidence, raise aspirations and above all improve wellbeing and happiness. This long-term and nurturing programme is designed to improve the lives of the children and young people and strengthen the community. As well as teaching strings, woodwind, brass and percussion instruments, the centre, provides a place to grow and nurture friendships supporting each person to reach their potential and lead successful and fulfilled lives.
In The Making wants to regenerate Big Noise’s back yard. We will host design workshops with a group of young people to define the purpose, look and feel of the space. We will formalise these findings into a physical proposal, taking care to reflect the kids’ ideas and designs into the outcome. We will then build what we design in workshops with the kids.
The driver behind this project is to empower the kids through design and building, to give them an experience of making, and to encourage a connection with Big Noise, allowing the kids to leave a legacy as they get older.

In The Making will work in partnership with Building Together C.I.C. (https://www.letsbuildtogether.co.uk/)
In The Making is seeking to raise £6000 to cover the costs of the project including insurance, and safe building materials and tools for young people. Any contribution will be gratefully received and the more we raise the more the young people can be ambitious in their designs!
If for any unlikely reason the project does not go ahead or the funds raised are more than we require, any left over will go straight to Sistema Scotland to support the programme at Big Noise Govanhill.
If you are unable to donate, please share this fundraiser on social media.
The project will run in July of 2021.
