As part of a new initiative, Cambridge council is asking residents to suggest sites within the area that could benefit from maintenance or repair from youth offenders in the community:

People have until January 31 to nominate projects that allow young people, who have broken the law and been referred to the Youth Offending Service, to make good the harm they’ve caused. It is called the ‘Pick a Site, We’ll Put it Right’ initiative.

To be considered, the project has to benefit the community, not take paid work from anyone else and not make someone a profit. The work should be challenging, worthwhile and constructive.

The Youth Offending Service is particularly interested in projects involving painting and decorating, conservation or working with animals.
