Project name: Turning the Tide with CashBack
Age range: 12-25 years
Turning the Tide will work with 40 groups of young people aged 12-25 from across Scotland over 3 years. Working with local partners, the project will provide an intense programme of diversionary activities aimed at young people involved in, or at risk of becoming involved in, anti-social behaviour. Through a mixture of land-based outdoor activity sessions and a 5-day residential sailing voyage, young people will have the opportunity to build teamwork, communication and leadership skills while gaining qualifications linked to practical skills delivery.
The project will work with partner organisations within their communities to ensure that the needs of young people and their communities are met, following a whole-system approach.
This will allow us to tailor delivery depending on group needs and ensure the project contributes to local Community Plans. Young people will be active partners throughout, involved in planning sessions, setting goals and reviewing achievements.
