SUMMARY:CashBack for Communities New Funding Webinar
DESCRIPTION:CashBack for Communities is launching a new funding phase (running April 2026–March 2029) with up to £26 million to support young people aged 10 – 25 years old across Scotland. \nThe programme focuses on early intervention\, offering safe spaces\, positive activities\, and holistic support for those facing significant challenges\, or at risk of offending. It also aims to help young people already in conflict with the law to reflect and build a better future. By strengthening community ties\, the aim is to empower youth to become leaders and positive influences. \nCashBack for Communities is a Scottish Government programme which reinvests money recovered through the Proceeds of Crime Act to strengthen communities by supporting young people.
