Community Payback – Project Criteria

Community Payback – Project Criteria

We want Cheshire residents to nominate the projects that they would like to see carried out.

We offer a nomination process and encourage individuals, faith groups, businesses, voluntary groups and local authorities to nominate projects. Once the work has been completed, a plaque may be displayed with the Community Payback logo. This will indicate where offenders have positively contributed to improving a neighbourhood.

To be considered, a project must meet the following criteria:

  • It must reduce the fear of crime by making the community safer.
  • It must benefit the local community.
  • It must not take paid work away from others.
  • No one must make a profit from the work.
  • It must be worthwhile, constructive and improve offenders' skills.
  • Offenders must be seen to be positively contributing to the local community.
  • It must take a minimum of 8 people.
