The Big Project Edinburgh

Established in 2002 The BIG Project supports children and young people aged 5-18 to learn, achieve, have fun and feel good about themselves.

Engendering a sense of stability and continuity for children and young people, many of whom experience social exclusion and discrimination at a variety of levels, we deliver ongoing, long-term support to help them overcome barriers and secure a positive future.

We are a leading charity, dedicated to empowering children and young people to build a BIG future, whatever their background or circumstances. We support children and young people to learn, achieve, have fun and feel good about themselves.

The BIG Project offers children, young people and their families an innovative programme of personal and social development. We promote activities and interests not as an end in themselves but as part of a wider developmental process to raise aspirations, increase self-esteem and develop self-control, thus influencing the overall quality of life of both children and young people and their community.
