Anonymous Donation Transforms Local Youth Space At PCYC

A generous $10,000 anonymous donation has helped transform a newly renovated youth space at the Whitsunday PCYC, with funds already going towards much-needed furniture and equipment.

The donor, who wishes to remain unnamed, quietly delivered the contribution on May 2.

Sergeant Billy Li from PCYC Whitsunday said this is the second time this individual has gifted a large donation to the PCYC and he said it will make a major impact.

The money will go towards a furnishing a newly built youth programme space.

“Majority of this money will go towards the newly built youth programme space which will house all our programme staff,” said Sgt Billy Li.

“For example, our Breaking The Cycle, our Get Set for Work team and we'll be running a youth group in the particular space as well.

“We will be getting furniture, blinds, maybe a TV in there as well. It will be used to deck out that youth space that we have.”

The upgraded space will provide a safe and engaging environment for local youth, helping keep them connected and on the right path.

“These programmes are about keeping young people engaged and helping them make the right choices in their lives,” said Sgt Billy Li.

The donation will allow PCYC Whitsunday to continue with their programs and advance their course that help the local youth.
