This is a truly monumental moment for The B!G Idea team as we complete our first-ever Impact Report — and we couldn’t be more excited.
Bringing together two years of achievements into one report has been an incredible experience. For the first time, we can clearly see the scale of our impact and the difference it has made to so many young people, teachers, and mentors.
The B!G Idea began during the uncertain early days of COVID-19. From the start, however, the programme proved to be adaptable, accessible, and effective — both online and in the classroom.
Over the past two years, teachers and students have consistently described the programme as easy to use, flexible, and hugely beneficial. As a result, The B!G Idea quickly grew into a multi-award-winning programme.
Since launch, The B!G Idea has:
Most importantly, we have shown that creativity can be taught. We have proven that creative thinking empowers young people to solve real problems — big and small, local and global.
As momentum grew, it quickly became clear that expanding the programme would require more people, partnerships, and ambition.
Over the past two years, we have continued to grow and evolve — and we’re only getting started. Our plans for the future are even B!GGER.
This year alone, we will deliver The B!G Idea programme to 4,000 students, including students in Northern Ireland.
We believe deeply in the power of young people. When we create an environment that helps them realise their potential, the impact reaches far beyond the classroom — into communities and wider society.
Our Impact Report is currently being printed and will be available very soon. It’s a powerful read, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
So, keep your eyes peeled — this is just the beginning.
