PCYC Singleton celebrates rich 60-year history of life-changing programs

For six decades, PCYC Singleton has been a safe space for members of the Hunter Valley and Upper Hunter communities to create meaningful connections and reach their full potential through its sports and recreation, and life-changing youth programs.

With more than 1,200 members, PCYC Singleton is more than a Club, it’s a community.

Club Manager, David Andrews shared that marking 60 years of positive impact is a major milestone, one that hasn’t come without the unwavering support of PCYC’s members, volunteers, partners and donors.

“The official opening was September 13, 1965, and our local PCYC has been pointing young people in the right direction in life ever since, developing their skills, character and leadership through our partnership with NSW Police.” said David.

Joss Davies has been a PCYC member for eight years, taking part in activities and volunteering her time around the Club. “For me personally I gained confidence and met lifelong friends, PCYC is a place where you feel truly included and encouraged to be your best,” said Joss.

“It gives young people positive role models and safe connections. It supports kids who might otherwise drift into risky situations, by giving them structure and purpose. It creates opportunities whether it’s through leadership programs, volunteering, or pathways into work or education.”

‘Fit for Life’ is one of the most popular youth programs at PCYC Singleton – young people aged 10 to 17 kickstart their day with fitness, mentorship, a nutritious breakfast, and a lift to school.

For participants like John Wilson, PCYC youth programs create a well-rounded routine which improves engagement in school and fosters positive habits. “PCYC has given me motivation, something to train for. It has improved my life a lot both physically and mentally. I love it.” Said John.

PCYC encourages people from all walks of life to get involved in the activities on offer at their local Club. PCYC is more than Club, a place you belong.
