Project name: Moving Forward+ with CashBack
Age range: 10-25 years
Moving Forward+ with CashBack supports autistic children and young people, through one-to-one and group work, to build confidence and improve their resilience and mental health.
The project has two strands:
- Young people aged 10-15
Working with young people aged 10-15 in Glasgow and North Lanarkshire who have stopped engaging with school or have been excluded from school. - Young people aged 16-25
Working with young people aged 16-25 in Glasgow, North Lanarkshire, and other areas of West Central Scotland, who are not engaged in education, employment, or training.
We focus on working with autistic young people from the most disadvantaged communities as indicated by the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD).
Through one-to-one coaching and group work, we support participants to build their confidence and develop strategies to improve their resilience and mental health.
We introduce participants to their peers, reducing isolation and fostering a sense of belonging. Previous Moving Forward+ with CashBack graduates also provide positive role models, inspiring participants and helping them to raise their own aspirations.
