The BIG Choir is more than just a singing group; it's a community where young voices come together to create something beautiful and meaningful.
BIG Drama started in 2012. Over the years we have staged a huge range of shows both big and small, some written by the group and others, like 'The Wizard of Oz', which involved over 50 young people from BIG Drama and BIG Sing.
When we're not doing shows we work on different drama skills like improvisation, scene making, script writing, and more. We also play lots of fun games each week which help to develop confidence and group working skills.
Holiday Programmes
The Holiday Programmes focus on providing children and young people with the chance to explore their city, Edinburgh, through a series of unique and memorable experiences. These outings provide children and young people with new experiences, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of their own city while boosting their confidence and social skills. We also provide a programme of ‘in-house’ activities; from cooking, to scavenger hunts, slime making to water sports. These programmes ensure that children and young people of Broomhouse have something to look forward to every holiday.
