And So It Begins... A New Noisy Year!

Hello to everyone who has been with us from the start and some of our new followers. As you can see we’ve given our website a facelift. As for any new followers, hi I’m Emily and I’ll be the new President of The Noisy Movement.


The founding committee has handed over the reins to our new committee. We cannot wait to get started! We are now a part of this amazing campaign with hopefully more campaigns on the way and COVID- 19 dependent hopefully some more events to raise lots of money for chosen charities and raising much-needed awareness for some of the societies’ most pivotal issues.


What is The Noisy Movement (TNM)? Well, we are a student-led social enterprise at the University of Edinburgh which acts as a platform for people to campaign for change on prevalent issues such as sexual assault and male mental health. This is Not Consent was our first campaign which launched in November 2018. It works to educate regarding the issues of consent and sexual assault. We utilize this campaign to fundraise for Rape Crisis Scotland. If you know anyone struggling to understand these issues, we recommend this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZwvrxVavnQ It's that simple.

Our second campaign, Noise 4 Boys launched in September 2019. This campaign is designed to stamp on the stigma surrounding male mental health and how ‘casual’ phrases such as ‘be a man’ or ‘man up’ should be squashed.

Both campaigns have been a huge success and in 2019 through a mixture of our product sales and running of events we have managed to raise over £1,500 to selected charities. Stay tuned for some exciting news!


I first came across TNM over Instagram and socials where lots of my uni friends were sharing really interesting events all in aid of societal issues which I have a keen interest in playing a role in. One coffee morning later and I became a member of The Noisy Movement. I was helping organise events, selling products and meeting such incredible people along the way. My decision to apply for President was pretty slapdash but I can honestly say is one of the best decisions at uni I could’ve made. I am so looking forward to working with our amazing new committee and making WAY much more noise. Our aim for this year is to launch our new campaign (more to come). Hopefully, host more events and increase our product sales online and in person. Fingers crossed we will be able to host our previously cancelled TNM Balmoral Ball. This will be the biggest event run by the committee and we cannot wait to get down and party with all of those who have been with us from the start and our new members who will continue to lead this amazing society. Please look at our Get Involved page and drop us a message any time if you have any queries, ideas, or would like to collaborate with us.


Really looking forward to seeing what we can achieve in my time as President and can’t wait to make the year 2020-2021 the LOUDEST!
