CashBack for Communities is an ambitious national project to inspire and support young people from all over Scotland who are at risk of poorer outcomes.
Over the course of three years, the project will support 288 young people, building life and employability. Central to this programme is a five day adventurous residential voyage aboard a large ocean going yacht. Our voyages equip young people with new skills and qualifications, developing a new found confidence and aspirations for the future.
