The Big Noise music and arts festival, is organised by a group of dedicated talented volunteers, all working to help raise vital funds for The Big Issue Foundation. Due to overwhelming public support the project has expanded and moved to the iconic London venue, The Coronet. Bigger venue, bigger acts, bigger noise!
On Saturday 13th June 2015, once again we will showcase some of the best local talent around. Featuring live music, DJ's, spoken word, comedy, poetry, theatre, exhibitions, live art and much more. Emerging and high profile acts in music and the arts will perform and put on an amazing selection of shows, all while addressing the issue of homelessness in the UK.
Show your support and enjoy a fantastic day of entertainment, all in aid of a very worthy cause. All proceeds from the festival and warm up events will go directly to The Big Issue Foundation, an independent charity that provides support to Big Issue street vendors to rebuild their lives and escape homelessness.
It's an exciting time for The Big Noise Festival and I am thrilled to see the festival grow and evolve in this, its third year. This was a fantastic event last year and definitely should not be missed in 2015!" – Stephen Robertson, CEO The Big Issue Foundation
THE BIG ISSUE FOUNDATION
People who are homeless are often excluded from mainstream society, financially impoverished and disadvantaged in multiple ways and The Big Issue Foundation seeks to address the fundamental issues attached to social and financial exclusion. Their charity work focuses on delivering brighter futures, boosting self esteem and helping vendors to reclaim their citizenship.
The Big Issue Foundation is a financially independent charity and their aim is to help homeless people earn a legitimate income, develop their skills and get back in control of their finances. The Big Noise festival and its associated events are supporting The Big Issue Foundation by donating all its proceeds to the charity.
How often do you get to have such a good time off the back of a charity donation?! Exactly.
