Cabinet Secretary for Justice Michael Matheson visited Craigroyston Community High School in Edinburgh to see first-hand the positive effects the CashBack for Communities funded Scottish Football Association’s Schools of Football training is having on its young participants. The Scottish Government’s CashBack for Communities programme funds free activities and programmes for young people across Scotland. It was introduced to improve young people’s self confidence and self esteem, and support communities, particularly those most affected by crime and anti-social behaviour. 2018 marks 10 years of the CashBack for Communities fund addressing disadvantage in communities throughout Scotland. The programme is now in its fourth phase with £17m of funding committed between 2017 and 2020.
