Some community payback orders involve the person who committed the offence carrying out unpaid work.
This unpaid work:
- usually lasts between 50 and 300 hours
- must be completed within a specific period of time
- can take place on any day of the week
If your community project or initiative needs assistance, you can ask us to provide unpaid work support. We can help with a range of tasks, including:
- building maintenance and landscaping
- gardening and landscaping projects
- ground clearance work
- improvements to park and community facilities
- leaflet delivery
- painting and decorating
- recycling
When we undertake these tasks, we'll make sure we have the tools needed to carry out the work. However, you’ll need to supply any:
- paint
- plants
- building materials
To ask us for unpaid work support, complete our application form.
