Your chance to choose - its your community, you know best

Community Payback is here...
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:
  • Charity or have trust status
  • Non-profit making
  • Land or building should not be in private ownership
  • Work must benefit the local community
  • Work must be worthwhile, constructive and give offenders new skills
  • Must not take paid work away from others
