Last week, New Hope Group donated $360,000 to the PCYC Toowoomba branch to ensure the continuation of the Oakey Connect Project after learning the program was unable to secure government funding.

In a win for the Oakey community, the funding will allow the Toowoomba PCYC to employ two specialist youth workers full-time for the next two years. This means beloved
program coordinator and youth worker Kat Medland will continue to work in Oakey. General Manager at New Acland Mine, Dave O’Dwyer said he was happy to announce New
Hope Group’s partnership with the PCYC for the next two years. “We’re here today not so much to talk about the mine and New Hope, but to talk about the PCYC and the community here in
Oakey,” he said. “It’s definitely not a publicity stunt and I object to it being called a publicity stunt, but we’ve always been really strong in the community.” - Continued on page 3.
