Bathurst Police Programs

Breakfast Club

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, the Breakfast club is held at the club.

This program is run in conjunction with the local Primary Schools, DoCS and Family Suport. Children with poor nutrition and low school attendance records are picked up by staff and volunteers of the PCYC brought to the club and given a hot breakfast, for those requiring it their lunches are provided and they are then taken to the respective schools. A marked increase in attendance of up to 60% has been shown with the children on the program.

This program is by referral only.
