Building Brighter Futures Fund
FARE Scotland (Family Action in Rogerfield and Easterhouse) is a voluntary organisation working within disadvantaged communities throughout Central Scotland. FARE strive to raise people’s aspirations, encourage them to become more involved in their communities, create opportunities for personal development and equip them with the skills required to deal with the demands of 21st century life.
A fully integrated approach is adopted which addresses young people’s health, wellbeing, economic circumstances, challenges and barriers and supports them to gain qualifications, undertake work placements and ultimately to progress onto sustainable employment.

BBFF investment has helped FARE to implement their new programme of work, StreetwYze, which helps to reduce gang related violence amongst young people living in Glasgow.
