PCYC Dubbo runs the Fit For Life program in partnership with NSW Police with an aim to redirect struggling youth who are on the wrong path, towards a brighter future.
The program achieves this by involving youth in an active lifestyle, forming relationships between them and their authority and given them basic necessities they may otherwise go without, such as a healthy and filling breakfast.
A spokesperson from PCYC NSW said now, more than ever, the program is in need of support which can be given through donating to the cause.

"We don't need to tell you that times are hard," the spokesperson said.
"The COVID crisis and increase in youth unemployment means PCYC NSW needs to help young people more than ever.
"School has ended for another year and young people now face a 15.6 per cent youth unemployment rate.
"With your help, Fit For Work can continue to help young people who need direction, skills and mentoring now. Please invest in the future of our youth, because together we can help our young people survive and thrive."
Donations can be made online at www.pcycnswdonate.charity/xmas.
