Cashback for Communities CashBack for Communities Dumfries & Galloway Local Authority 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.

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 Dumfries and Galloway 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. YouthLink Scotland, through the Youth Work Fund, has supported capacity of young people and youth work organisations. Examples in the Local Authority include Dumfries YMCA, Youth Alive Dumfries and Galloway, and Get Hooked on Fishing. Prince’s Trust Development Awards have been used to support a number of young people in the area including funding to gain an SIA License, attend a sports coaching course and purchase equipment for an agriculture and gardens business set up. CashBack for Creativity has funded a number of projects in the area including programmes to deliver dance activities for young people in the area. Boxing Scotland ran various activities across the area from 2012-14 including Millenium ABC in Stranraer and Nith Valley Boxing Club in Dumfries. The Scottish FA has run the Midnight League programme in Dumfries and Galloway have always been well supported by the Council and has operated across a number of locations across the area including Belmont, Whithorn, Minnigaff, Creetown and Kirkcudbright, Dalbeattie, Dumfries and Moffat. The SFA also works with schools to provide coaching culminating in the CashBack 7’s events which approximately twenty schools in Dumfries and Galloway participated in. Scottish Rugby Union - CashBack funding has been used to part-fund three full-time rugby club development officers at Dumfries RFC Newton Stewart RFC and Stewartry RFC. Each post is responsible for the delivery of the broad participation programme, Schools of Rugby and street rugby in the area. Maxwelltown High School has been a School of Rugby since 2011. In 2012 Dumfries Saints RFC were awarded funding from the CashBack Rugby Facilities Fund for the re-development of the artificial pitch to help accommodate the growing numbers of boys and girls playing rugby at the club. 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.

Issue 41 www.stranraeracademy.org.uk October 2017 S6 Girls vs Mr Hyslop Great Scottish Run 10K Challenge! Mr Hyslop of Modern Studies was recently challenged to a 10k race by S6 girls Katie Macmillan and Ellen Watt with the aim of raising funds for the family of Stranraer Academy Network Technician Mr Andrew Glasgow, who sadly passed away on 28th August after a battle with cancer. The girls did very well and put in a great level of effort, but Mr Hyslop ended up with the fastest time of 00:49:59 with a pace of 05:00 min/km! The plan was for the girls to directly compete against Mr Hyslop at the Great Scottish Run in Glasgow but Katie was unable to take part in that event and therefore completed her 10k at another race in Musselburgh - with former pupil Duncan Anderson stepping in as her pacemaker. She finished her race in a great time of 01:04:26. Ellen enlisted the help of classmate Chloe Laverie to act as a pacemaker for her event and the girls did very well, finishing in a good time of 01:33:22. The trio set a target of raising £1000 for the Glasgow family and we are happy to announce that they surpassed that amount recently. Well done everyone! Donations are still being accepted from the following link: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/mrhyslopellenandkatie?utm_term=QAmEB48wE Well done to everyone who took part!

  • Third Statistical Account of Scotland the Parish of Kirkgunzeon by Alan
    Third Statistical Account of Scotland The Parish of Kirkgunzeon by Alan W. Lindsay (1959) Mr Lindsay was the Head Teacher at Kirkgunzeon School and author of this third statistical account of the Parish. Boundaries: The Parish of Kirkgunzeon, lying between the burghs of Dumfries and Dalbeattie, is bounded by the parishes of Urr on the west, Lochrutton on the north, Southwick and Colvend on the south and New Abbey on the east. These boundaries are unchanged since 1792. Natural Features: The parish consists of a shallow north-east-south-west valley five miles long and three miles broad. Through this valley runs Kirkgunzeon Lane which, as its name implies, flows for a mile or two at least, through a straight channel (partly man-made) in the flat ground in the north-east of the parish. It is a good trout stream. The high land in the parish lies roughly round the boundaries. On the southern side the hills are heather-clad, forming the slopes of the large granite batholith of Criffel. The opposite side of the valley lies on blue whinstone. The dividing line between the granite and the whin runs down the centre of the valley. The whinstone ground is considered to be stronger land and better 1 able to hold moisture. Hence it grows better grass while the sharper granite- based ground produces better oats. Throughout the area much of the ground is uneven owing to small rocky outcrops here and there. The largest wooded area is Camphill, where there are perhaps 15 acres of rough coniferous plantation.
