Project name: CashBack on Track
Age range: 10-25 years
CashBack on Track uses dance to nurture young peoples’ development and wellbeing, promoting positive, resilient and fulfilling lives.
We work with young people aged 10-25 who are living in poverty, in deprived communities, in custody, most affected by crime, have caring responsibilities, vulnerable young parents, experiencing/recovering from trauma, at risk of entering the criminal justice system, care experienced, and/or experiencing mental health difficulties.
The programme has four strands:
- Alternative Education and Care Experienced Young People
We support young people to work towards qualifications such as SQA Personal Achievement Awards (SCQF Level 2) and SQA Personal Development Awards. - Community Diversions
Weekly dance sessions with 7 community groups targeting young people most at risk of anti-social behaviour and criminal activity. Designed to build participants’ confidence and self-belief while developing transferable skills in communication, teamworking and commitment. - Youth Custody
Working with young offenders at HMYOI Polmont, delivering Award in Dance Leadership courses (SCQF Level 4) and developing life skills in planning and organisation, communication, problem solving, teamworking, self- belief and self-management. - Family Connections
Our programmes for young parents and their pre-school children and young carers and siblings. Designed to build confidence and enable participants to engage with community and employability programmes.
