A really helpful resource from Scottish Sentencing Council around community sentences👇 well worth a watch and spread far and wide.

People subject to a Community Payback Order can be ordered to carry out between 20 and 300 hours of unpaid work. This allows people the opportunity to remain in the #community and pay back to their community for harm caused. We are looking for new projects in #Fife. Please share!

It's #CommunityFirstFriday!💡 We love seeing skilled projects completed by unpaid work teams Clackmannanshire Council Fife Council Justice Social Work Moray Justice Social Work Service South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership 🌤️As the light returns there'll be more opportunities for outdoor projects like these.
