Since the scheme began on 31st March, some 97+ properties have received help from the Community Payback teams. Work undertaken has included installing security lighting to vulnerable properties, carpentry work, clearing rubbish and helping elderly or infirm people with their gardens.
The scheme is not one way, as some people working on the payback team have said it has been the most fulfilling work they have ever been involved in. Community Payback helps prevent the likelihood of reoffending and gives those involved a chance to gain qualifications thus increasing employment prospects.
The work is supervised by Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Probation Trust, all offenders are carefully risk assessed before being allowed to wok on projects ensuring public safety.
Park Farm NHW has requested a regular visit from the teams to help keep our area clean and tidy.
If you would like some help with your garden (or know someone who would benefit from this) please contact us.
