Mission Statement
Working Towards a Better Tomorrow
Here at The Noisy Movement, we see the value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings in 2018, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Nonprofit Organization upon: support, empowerment, and progress.

​
This is the first-ever campaign launched by The Noisy Movement, inspired by a case in Cork in 2018 in which a 17-year old’s lace underwear was shown to the jury as evidence of her consent to sexual acts. Style, type, ‘sexiness’ or material of underwear does not indicate giving consent, the only thing that indicates consent is an enthusiastic “YES”.
​
Lace, silk or thong, rape is always wrong.
​
Since the beginning, The Noisy Movement has been making noise for those who can’t. There is still such a lack of education around consent and sexual assault, whether you think about the fact that it is not taught in SexEd, or about the lack of visibility in mainstream media outlets, or the normalisation of rape jokes - think back to the Warwick Uni group chat scandal a little while ago. Such a lack of education can make it difficult to speak out, and our #ThisIsNotConsent campaign aims to normalise noise surrounding consent and sexual assault.
The #ThisIsNotConsent campaign is not just about raising awareness or noise, it’s also about raising money. We have held fundraisers in aid of Rape Crisis Scotland and Women’s Aid, both charities that put the money to good use and continue to improve the lives of both women and men across the country.
​
We have held open mic nights, club events at Sneaky Pete’s and Mash House, balls at the swanky Balmoral hotel, and bag sales. Our bag sales are undeniably popular, and it is so satisfying to walk around campus, see our bags and think, that’s OUR bag!! And we couldn’t have done it without you: over the 2019-2020 school year, we raised a whopping £600 for Rape Crisis Scotland, as well as an additional £740 for Women’s Aid in association with GirlUp. Also, check GirlUp out, they’re fab!
The future of #ThisIsNotConsent is incredibly exciting, and the whole team at The Noisy Movement cannot wait to show you what we have in store!

​
Originally known as "Noise4Boys," our campaign was born from a critical need—to raise awareness about men's mental health and break the stigma surrounding it.
Noise4Boys was launched in October 2019 in association with the Edinburgh University Predators American Football team. We fundraise for Edinburgh Crisis Centre, a service providing 24/7 community-based support for anyone struggling with their mental health or well-being.
​
But as we've evolved, so has our understanding. Now, as "Mind the Noise," we're embracing inclusivity, recognizing that mental health impacts everyone. Through this rebrand, we recognize that that mental health transcends traditional gender binaries and we seek to embrace a more inclusive outlook.
​
Our mission remains unchanged: to foster open dialogue and support for mental well-being. Through "Mind the Noise," we invite you to join us in creating a community where seeking help is encouraged, not hindered by societal expectations. Let's continue making noise for these vital issues, together.
​
Our Launch event in March 2024, you helped us raise 483£ for MYPAS! We hope to be able to continue this campaign in the future and host amazing event for an amazing cause.
