CashBack For Communities Phase Four Impact Evaluation

Most of the partners deliver CashBack projects directly. A summary of each project is available here . Two of the partners are national organisations which provide small grants to other organisations:

Creative Scotland ran the CashBack for Creativity grants programme. This included a targeted fund with awards up to £120,000 for up to 18 organisations, and an open fund with awards of £500 to £10,000.

YouthLink Scotland ran the CashBack for Communities Youth Work Fund. This is a small grants scheme for community based youth work organisations, to provide diversionary activities for disadvantaged young people.

In addition, one partner - Prince’s Trust Scotland - provides small grants to individual young people to support them into positive destinations by helping them overcome the financial barriers to accessing education, employment or training.

Finally, Youth Scotland ran the Generation CashBack programme as a consortium, in partnership with Girlguiding Scotland, Boys’ Brigade and Scouts Scotland. The funding supported both new and existing groups, in Scotland’s most deprived communities.
