2015/16 About CashBack for Communities

CashBack for Communities is a Scottish Government programme which takes funds recovered from the proceeds of crime and invests them into free activities and programmes for young people across Scotland. Inspiring Scotland is the delivery partner for the CashBack for Communities programme, appointed in July 2012.

. CashBack invests monies seized from criminals under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 back into our communities. . Since 2008 the Scottish Government has committed £92 million to CashBack / community initiatives, funding community activities and facilities largely, but not exclusively, for young people. . CashBack supports all 32 Local Authorities across Scotland. . Sporting and recreational activities / culture / mentoring and employability / community projects. . CashBack has delivered nearly 2 million activities and opportunities for young people. . Phase 3 of CashBack runs to end March 2017 and is focused on positive outcomes for young people. CashBack for Communities: Aims

CashBack activities:

. Use the proceeds of crime in a positive way to expand young people’s horizons and increase their opportunities to develop their interests and skills in an enjoyable, fulfilling and supportive way. . Are open, where possible, to all children and young people, while focusing resources in those communities suffering most from antisocial behaviour and crime. . Seek to increase levels of participation to help divert young people away from ‘at risk’ behaviour, and will aim to increase the positive long-term outcomes for those who take part.

Activity number represents the number of activities and opportunities that young people have taken advantage of as a result of CashBack funding. It should be noted that CashBack partners may have worked with some of the same young people over a number of years. Therefore the total annual activity and opportunity figures might not directly correlate to the number of individual young people who have been involved with CashBack. Historic CashBack funding (2008 -2016) Examples of CashBack funded activities up to 2016 The Small Grants Scheme consortium has been a beneficiary of CashBack funding in Scottish Borders since 2008 and this has included supporting Boys Brigade, Girlguiding Scotland, Scouts, Girls Brigade and Youth Club activities across the area.

YouthLink Scotland, through the Youth Work Fund, has supported capacity of young people and youth work organisations. Examples in the Local Authority include Tweeddale Youth Action, LGBT, Escape Youth Services, Earlston Youth Services, Eildon West Youth Hub, Borders Youth Theatre and Rowland’s Selkirk.

Creative Scotland, through their CashBack for Creativity fund, has supported many organisations in the area. In the Scottish Borders, Creative Scotland grant recipient Voice of My Own has supported Filmlink to provide young people from 6 youth groups in the Scottish Borders to create a 60-90 minute film based on local identity and stories.

Boxing Scotland delivered weekly boxing coaching from June 2012 until 2014 in Hawick ABC providing 10 to 19 year olds the chance to take part in a non-contact form of amateur boxing.

Prince’s Trust Development Awards have been used to support a number of young people in the area including funding to attend photography courses, and purchase clothes for interview.

Basketballscotland has provided CashBack funded coaching and support at a number of venues across the Scottish Borders including Gytes at Peebles and Earlston High School.

The Scottish FA has run the Midnight League programme across a number of venues in the Authority including Woodside Kelso, Galashiels Public Park, Kerfield Peebles, Volunteer Park, Hawick, and Gunsgreen Eyemouth. The Scottish Borders was the first local authority to team Cashback sports together in a 'multi street sport' format in Hawick in 2009. It was well attended and grew to be a success.

Scottish Rugby Union runs broad participation activities in North Lanarkshire and the CashBack funding has been used to part-fund ten development officers at Berwick RFC, Berwickshire RFC, Gala RFC, Hawick RFC, Jedburgh RFC, Kelso RFC, Langholm RFC, Melrose RFC, Peebles RFC and Selkirk RFC. Street Rugby has been delivered at Netherdale in Gala & the Youth Centre in Hawick. Hawick High School, Peebles High School and Selkirk High School have been Schools of Rugby since 2011. The CashBack Rugby Facilities Fund has benefitted the following clubs in the Scottish Borders: Duns RFC, for redevelopment of existing pitch and to create a new training pitch to accommodate the growing numbers of boys and girls playing rugby at the club; both Peebles RFC and Jed Forest RFC received funding to upgrade their floodlighting for their pitches; and Hawick RFC received an award to create new and improved changing rooms. Scottish Borders – CashBack Outcomes: Case Studies

CashBack has made a huge difference to the lives of young people. We have captured information on individual case studies for CashBack partners which demonstrate the impact delivery activities have had to those participating. These can be accessed on the CashBack website at http://www.cashbackforcommunities.org/

A young person was a recipient of a Prince’s Trust Development Award: “I heard about the Development Awards that CashBack for Communities funded through Prince’s Trust on Gumtree. I’d been struggling to get by and couldn’t get work. I was depressed. No job and no money. Prince’s Trust showed me how to make a good CV, and set out my goals to get a trade. I got an award which helped me go on a building course and I have since become an Apprentice Joiner. I love it, have made good friends got to experience different trades and earned my CSCS card which helps me for any trade working on a building site.”

Hawick, Peebles & Selkirk Academies have been Scottish Rugby Union Schools of Rugby since 2012 with Jedburgh & Kelso joining the programme in 2013. Across all schools some 200 young people take part in up to 5 sessions per week of rugby training and classroom based sessions.

Pupils’ behaviour is monitored as is their skill development and physical competence. The school has provided evidence on the impact the programme is having on some challenging and disengaged young people, as well as growth of rugby participation throughout the school. As well as seeing an increase in rugby participation, the programme has also resulted in improved school attendance, reduced behaviour referrals and increase merits being achieved by the pupils involved.

The benefits of this is two-fold, increasing the confidence of those peer mentoring by encouraging them to take an active and full role in participating, but also allowing them to gain achievements such as Saltire Awards and Youth Achievement Awards as a way of recognising their efforts.
