Over the last four years alone, Big hART has worked intensely with 330 young people and 1,060 adults. The company has formed 198 community partnerships, reached a live audience of 57,720, and a television audience of over 675,000.
Evaluations of Big hART’s projects indicate that the company's outcomes represent exceptional value for money. For example figures from the National Centre for Social and Economic Modeling show that the cost to the community of early school leavers is $2.6 billion per annum, or $74,000 per young person. By the end of 2006, Big hART's Radio Holiday project had saved the community $2,264,000.
Each project consistently shows high levels of participation, improved levels of literacy, improved life skills and self-confidence in participants, and diversion from crime into education and work.
Statistics however, only tell half the story. Big hART projects are experiential, with the true measure of success being found in the experience gained by the participants and the way their story touches an audience.
