Project name: CashBack Schools of Rugby & CashBack Community Rugby
Age range: 10-25 years
Scottish Rugby Union’s CashBack programme supports young people in the most deprived areas in Scotland to participate in a variety of positive, behavioural change activities to improve wellbeing and enhance a sense of purpose and belonging.
The programme has two strands: Schools of Rugby and Community Rugby.
CashBack Schools of Rugby
CashBack Schools of Rugby provides curricular and extra-curricular rugby activities for Junior and Senior phase pupils. We also offer participants opportunities to achieve qualifications, such as Rugby Ambassadors and the Developing Players Programme.
CashBack Community Rugby uses rugby as a vehicle to provide attractive, positive activities for 16-25 year olds who are most at risk of involvement in the justice system and equip them with the skills and experience they need to progress into employment.
Working alongside partners such as Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH), we deliver behavioural change workshops for young people to improve decision making and resilience so that they can better resist pressures to engage in antisocial or criminal behaviour.
