CashBack for Communities

A further £1million has been allocated to the CashBack for Communities Youth Work Fund to be administered by YouthLink Scotland over the next two years.

We are currently in the process of reviewing the Youth Work Fund application systems, with a view to moving to an easier, online system. The fund will reopen in the new financial year once these new systems are in place. Once open the fund will be widely publicised through our e-briefing, website and other channels.

In the meantime, check out the Scottish Government News Release here.
