Community payback scheme

The Community Payback scheme, led by the National Probation Service, sees offenders who have been identified by the courts doing unpaid work in your community as part of their community sentence. The offenders wear bright orange tabards and work in full view of the public. 

Hull is one of 51 locations in England and Wales which is part of the Government's Neighbourhood Crime and Justice Agenda.

You can have your say about the Community Payback work that offenders do in your neighbourhood. Work can range from litter removal or clearing dense undergrowth, to repairing and redecorating community centres, or removing graffiti. The work must:

• benefit the local community
• not take paid work away from others
• not make a profit for anyone
• provide enough work to keep a group of offenders fully occupied
• be within the capabilities of the local Community Payback Team to undertake
• satisfy health and safety requirements

If you are an individual, member of a club, community group, faith group or voluntary organisation and want to nominate an activity, please contact the Humberside Probation Trust on 01482 480 068 or complete an online form.
