Earlier this week it was announced that more than £10.5 million worth of proceeds of crime cash has been recovered in the past year. This money will be reinvested in communities through CashBack.
The Scottish Government’s CashBack for Communities programme has invested over £45 million of crooks’ cash for good purposes. Funds recovered through the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 are provided to communities to put young people on a positive path in life by offering them the chance to take part in hundreds of thousands of free sporting, cultural, educational diversionary activities and development programmes. Over 600,000 young people aged 10 -19 years have already benefited.
