Your chance to choose - it's your community, you know best

Community Payback is here...
Nationally, 5 million hours of compulsory unpaid work is done by offenders each year. Now you can have your say on what work takes place in your local area and how this will benefit your community.

From bringing derelict areas and buildings back into public use, clearing church yards, repairing park benches, and removing graffiti offenders are working to make your community a better place to live. Offenders on Community Orders do work that otherwise may not have been carried out.

To be suitable the site must meet the following criteria:

• It must reduce the fear of crime by making the community a safer place
• It must benefit the local community
• It must not take away paid work from others
• No one must profit from the work
• It must be worthwhile, constructive and give offenders new skills
• Offenders must be putting something back in to the community
