Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox, announced this week that an elected Dutton Liberal National Government will provide $20,000 to support the Proserpine Youth Space.
“The Proserpine community is growing in population and therefore growing in the number of youths that require support,” Mr Willcox said.
“Youth Space is a non-government organisation offering the support and guidance for 8 to 21 year olds. It provides our young people with a safe and comfortable environment to socialise and interact with their friends, as well as with staff and volunteers.
“With the increase in crime and decrease in social development amongst youths, programs that create resilience and provide guidance, are imperative.
“Youth Space does exactly that, by creating a foundation to reduce anti-social behaviour and help set our youth on the right path for their future and the betterment of the community.
“The LNP knows how important it is to fund grass roots programs within small communities, which is why I’m proud to commit funding to this vital program if a Dutton-led Liberal National Government is elected.”
Renee Buckley from the Proserpine Youth Space Coordinator said, “We receive referrals from Queensland Police of young youths who are going off the track in life, and we try to support them the best way we can with our Anger and Anxiety Youth Program.
“This funding commitment will mean we will be able to continue to run this program with martial arts, fitness, and art therapy with the aim to help teenagers develop resilience and channel any anger into other positive activities.”
