Funding Opportunity - 24m Cashback for Communities Fund

24th October 2013

The Scottish Government has announced that young people and their communities across Scotland will benefit from a further £24m in funding via the Cashback for Communities fund. The programme, introduced in 2007, is funded by proceeds of crime seized by police in Scotland and has been used for sporting, arts and community activities, which range from diversionary sporting activity to more long-term potentially life-changing intervention projects, which turn young people’s lives around and provide them the opportunity of getting into employment, education, or volunteering.

The application process for the fund will open on 1st November, with a deadline for applications of 31st December 2013. More information on the fund can be found on the Scottish Government website.
