Project name: SSF & CashBack in the Community: Empowered People, Safer Places
Age range: 10-21 years
Our CashBack for Communities programme will reduce anti-social behaviour by giving young people safe, welcoming spaces to take part in fun physical activity and issue-based youth work. We will operate in Glasgow (Dalmarnock, Barrowfield, Parkhead), North Ayrshire (The Towns & Irvine) and Clackmannanshire (north and south).
We will target young people aged 10-21, living within communities where there is risk of exclusion, isolation, involvement in anti-social behaviour and crime.
They will share meals and connect with trusted youth workers, peers and their community. We will work with young people affected by poverty, trauma, and isolation. We focus on evenings, when support is often missing and boredom takes hold, often the spark that fuels youth anti-social behaviour.
We will build confidence and relationships so young people can make positive choices. We will work with families and communities to support change at home and in the local area.
Each community shapes the activities that matter most to them. This means we can respond to real local issues, like helping people new to Scotland feel included, or challenging unfair treatment. We address local drivers of anti-social behaviour by working with communities to deliver tailored interventions. Recognising each community is shaped by local context, delivery is adapted to each area.
Young people grow into leaders, supporting others and making their communities safer.
