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 since 2008 and this has included supporting Boys Brigade, Girlguiding Scotland, Scouts, Girls Brigade, Clubs for Young People and Youth Club activities across the area.

Dumfries & Galloway – 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/

Michael Matheson MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Justice, visited Maxwelltown High School in Dumfries finding out more from teachers and pupils about the Schools of Rugby initiative. There are currently 30 Schools of Rugby across Scotland, benefitting around 700 pupils from S1 - S3. CashBack for Communities funds this programme which aims to make rugby a central part of school life and develop valuable life skills and improve academic achievement. Scottish Rugby’s Head of Domestic Rugby Support, Neil Carrie, said: “When the opportunity arose to offer a Schools of Rugby visit to Mr Matheson, Maxwelltown was at the top of my list. CashBack is vital to the development of young people in this area and across Scotland. What has also impressed me about Maxwelltown is their outlook on sport and their desire to contribute effectively to the life skills and health of their pupils.” T, a pupil who has benefitted from the programme, said: “Rugby has given me motivation to get up in the morning and to go to school. I’ve gained so much confidence. It’s brilliant.” The School of Rugby hasn’t only been beneficial for the school game in Dumfries, local club Dumfries Saints have also seen more players coming along from Maxwelltown High School in recent years.

R was involved in community activities and various CashBack initiatives including Street Football, Midnight League and Volunteer Development. Financial issues restrict him training / signing for an under 16s league football team, however his continued commitment over his teenage years to Summerhill Community Centre sports and activities, in particular football, was inspirational. There is huge peer group pressure amongst his age group and anti-social behaviour issues within his housing estate. The football programme helped Ryan to distance himself from engaging in these issues, yet still manages to be seen as ‘one of the boys’. He unknowingly has been the trigger that has encouraged and developed his age group teams coming together for training and entering tournaments throughout the season. He has become a referee for the junior (under 10s) street football activities (Thursday evenings 6-7pm), linesman, organises strips, water bottles, notices for his local team and is the main organiser for gathering names / PR / Training times and contacting everyone when entering ‘under 16s’ ‘7 a sides’ tournaments. R had been a shy young person, however his involvement with the project has developed his confidence and self-esteem. His ability to focus and complete tasks through his football world has created new opportunities and interests for R, whereby he has also become a youth committee member at Summerhill Community Centre and now volunteers with many other centre activities.

Wigtown Festival Building on the existing young people's festival programme during the Various Company annual 10-day event which takes place September/October, and the successful RYT's first full scale 'script to performance' project 87 Miles, Wigtown Festival Company (WFC) will develop a programme of year- round activities for young people including: seasonal arts programmes, peer to peer learning, literature and theatre outreach across the region, youth arts residential experiences, literature development aimed at young people (e.g. highlighting national opportunities and providing new opportunities for young writers), and young people's internships. This already-established network and reputation will enable us to develop activities to reach new young people across Wigtownshire and to further develop activities throughout the rest of the region, particularly in more rural and deprived areas by taking arts activity to them

The Whithorn Trust The "DigTV" project will allow young people in Whithorn and 45-47 George St, Whithorn, DG8 8NS surrounding areas to engage with an exciting archaeological dig happening near their community via participation in a digital media project. Archaeologists already know that this Iron Age site is the largest to be discovered in Scotland and will attract national attention. The project will also allow the wider community and world to follow the progress of the Dig online at whithorndigtv. Professional film makers working at the Whithorn Trust production base (to be created for this project) and on the nearby live excavation site aim to challenge young people to create a community online television station, entitled Dig TV, which will film and capture news about a nationally important archaeological dig as it happens, interviewing archaeologists, live streaming the digging to the Whithorn Trust, and creating all PR, through social and traditional media, for the project. Young people will be trained by professionals both in front of and behind the camera; they will learn to use special equipment, such as drones, and will create their own narrative of the site. They will ultimately create a final film, to be screened in front of the local public and archaeologists.

Dumfries and Galloway Funding to deliver a yearlong programme with a range of workshops / Oasis Youth Centre Council activities for young people, including Newall Terrace • 2-week educational performance and production course for young Dumfries people in July 2015 DG1 1LW • A weekly project that would run for 52 weeks on a Saturday where we would deliver 8 weekly blocks of arts programmes e.g. Drama and trash drumming; Digital Photography and Graffiti art, etc.
