Youth projects throughout Scotland are invited to apply for funding from a
£2.5 million pot of cash created from the proceeds of crime.
Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill announced that a fourth round of funding
for youth projects from the CashBack for Communities scheme is now open.
The scheme, to be administered by YouthLink Scotland, the national agency
for youth work, has been allocated £2.5 million to distribute over the next
two years to local youth projects in the form of grants up to a maximum of
£30,000.
Jim Sweeney, Chief Executive of YouthLink Scotland, said:
“YouthLink Scotland, as the National Agency for Youth Work, is delighted
that the Scottish Government has agreed to enrich and increase the
availability of youth work activities through CashBack for Communities. It
will enable hundreds of groups and tens of thousands of young people across
the country to benefit through more and better provision.”
