Cashbacks for Communities

•Phase 6 of the programme is focused on the theme of ‘Sport for Change’ and sees investment being delivered to schools in areas of deprivation, targeting pupils who may be at risk of being excluded, or at risk of exclusion from school, or at risk of being involved in antisocial behaviour.

•Provides leadership opportunities to help disadvantaged young people develop confidence whilst developing physical fitness, cognitive skills, physical competencies and personal qualities.

•The project will also bring participation in positive activities and help young people contribute positively to their communities.
