Our impact
Making noise that matters.
In a short period, Let’s Make Noise has grown into a nationally recognised, award-winning charity. Our programmes have transformed the experiences of children and young people with SEND and their families, and our reach now extends far beyond East London.
Who we reach
Inclusion without exception.
We work with children and young adults from all communities, backgrounds, faiths and ethnicities. Inclusion is not simply a value we uphold; it is the foundation upon which every programme is designed and delivered.
Our work has attracted interest from parents and carers throughout the United Kingdom who wish their children to take part. This sustained demand demonstrates both the distinctiveness of our approach and the significant unmet need for inclusive, accessible opportunities for young people with SEND.
Outcomes
The difference we make.
Children
Improved communication, self-expression and confidence, and the joy of new experiences and friendships.
Families
Reduced isolation, peer support networks and renewed confidence in their child’s potential.
Young adults
Practical life skills, employability and greater independence as they transition to adulthood.
Community
Greater awareness of SEND, reduced stigma and stronger community cohesion.
Impact by programme
Distinctive projects. Lasting results.
Speech and language therapy
One-to-one therapy has helped children and adults develop their speech, language and communication skills, enabling them to express their needs, form relationships and participate more fully at home, at school and in the community.
Life Skills Initiative
Through cooking classes, supported work experience, money management and social skills sessions, young adults have gained tangible, transferable skills and the confidence to pursue greater independence and future employment.
Fun days out
Our days out have created cherished memories for children and families, fostered new friendships and built a strong, supportive network among parents and carers.
Let’s Make Noise Cup
The Cup has brought the wider community together in a Football League stadium, raising awareness of SEND in front of a large and enthusiastic crowd and celebrating inclusion on a significant public stage.
Award-winning charity

Our commitment to inclusion, participation and community-driven support for children and young people with SEND, and their families, has been recognised at a national level.
