If you have a passion for supporting and nurturing potential, so do we...

The Boys’ Brigade (BB) is a Christian uniformed youth organisation, providing opportunities for children and young people to learn, grow and discover in a safe, fun, and caring environment.

BB Companies (groups) meet in communities across the country, supported by dedicated volunteer leaders who give their time and skills every week.

We are delighted to have recently secured funding for Phase 7 of CashBack – ‘Location CashBack’. Working together with Youth Scotland, Guides and Scouts – Location CashBack is a three-year Leadership and Participation programme funded by Scottish Government CashBack for Communities Funding.

Location CashBack will support young people aged 10-25 years in SIMD 1-2 areas who may also face barriers including being impacted by poverty, crime and anti-social behaviour.

Building on connections to trusted local youth groups, like the BB, it will offer safe spaces, mentoring, personal development and leadership opportunities that open new pathways for learning, life and work.

We are now looking to recruit a part-time Development worker to lead the Location CashBack project with our local groups.
