CASHBACK FOR COMMUNITIES – RUGBY

The scheme – Scottish rugby is to receive £3.65m seized from the proceeds of crime. The money will be invested
in rugby club activities and facilities over the next three years. The funds will be administered through
sportscotland’s capital grant scheme. The move is part of the Scottish government’s CashBack for Communities
scheme, which funds diversionary activities for young people.

Amount - Scottish Rugby will channel £2.4m of the funding towards enhancing playing and coaching opportunities
for youngsters across all of Scotland’s 32 local authorities. This will include support for a national network of jointlyfunded
development staff, who act as a focal point for growing the game at the local level.
The remaining £1.25m will be made available to local rugby clubs with a track record of growing the game at junior, youth and adult levels.
The new fund will offer clubs up to £50,000 to invest in new facilities, or to improve existing ones.
