Project name: CashBack Community of Basketball (including Schools of Basketball)
Age range: 10-17 years
Community of Basketball contributes to developing a community of young people who, by engaging in activities that improve their physical, mental and social health, build resilience against antisocial behaviour and involvement in the justice system.
The programme has two strands: Youth Work Through Sport and our wider work in schools.
Youth Work Through Sport
Our targeted Youth Work Through Sport approach engages a core group of young people with adverse childhood experiences in three Glasgow partner schools. We deliver activities designed to develop resilience, including:
- One-to-one and small group support from a youth worker
- Personal development planning
- Positive sport and physical activity opportunities
- Support to understand mental health and wellbeing and how to improve it
- Opportunities to achieve qualifications
- Support to engage in positive alternatives to anti-social behaviour outside of school
Wider work in schools
Our wider schools work engages young people in high schools and local primary schools to deliver positive activity with embedded mental wellbeing messaging designed to improve emotional literacy. We provide a range of opportunities for these young people to engage in positive activity in their community.
