This funding reinvests criminal assets recovered through the Proceeds of Crime Act into projects delivering positive futures for our young people. It aims to provide support to young people at risk of entering the criminal justice system and communities impacted by crime.
CashBack for Communities supports the Scottish Government’s Vision For Justice, helping to build a just, safe and resilient Scotland. The fund focuses on young people at risk of entering the criminal justice system and the communities most affected by crime.
Our partners deliver a range of trauma-informed and person-centred services and activities for young people between the ages of 10-25 that:
- Support young people most at risk of being involved in antisocial behaviour offending or reoffending towards or into positive destinations
- Provide person-centred support for young people, parents and families impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences and trauma
- Support young people to improve their health, mental health and wellbeing
- Support people, families and communities most affected by crime
