Big Project Edinburgh

About

Established in 2002, The BIG Project is a trusted and much valued community-based Youth Project which adopts a preventative approach in supporting children and young people aged 5-18 years, living in the Broomhouse area of Edinburgh (SIMD 1 &2). The Project delivers continuing long-term support in the form of a programme of compelling and enriching educational opportunities and experiences incorporating universal youth/ children’s work, holiday activity programmes, targeted small group-work, and individual support ensuring a continuum of support. The main aim of the project is to provide positive and consistent role models for the children and young people, disrupting the cycle of poverty, unemployment and crime that otherwise exists in this area.
