Project name: CashBack Positive Changes
Age range: 14-24 years
CashBack Positive Changes is a behavioural change, wellbeing, and inclusion service for young people aged 14-24 who are not engaged in school, currently offending, or perceived to be at risk of being involved in the justice system. We support young people with a range of complex needs/challenges, including being disengaged or excluded from education, behavioural issues, risk-taking behaviour, family adversity, negative peer influences and a lack of positive role models.
Our service delivers 26 weeks of needs-led support (on average). This includes:
- Holistic one-to-one support throughout their journey
Participants work with a dedicated keyworker to co-produce and review a Personalised Support Plan of agreed goals, actions, and outcomes. - Group work
- Progression and after care
We deliver the service at community venues and Action for Children hubs, bringing participants together to form pro-social peer networks.
The service supports:
- Behavioural Change – addressing negative attitudes and behaviour, whilst equipping participants with critical thinking skills to make informed choices/changes.
- Wellbeing – structured activities include SQA Wellbeing award units and personal action planning to improve own wellbeing.
- Core Skills – essential skills for life (SQA Core Skills Units).
- Inclusion – improving awareness, access, and linkages to community-based supports.
