A Gold Coast United Pathway Coach selected 13 Under 12 boys from the East Coast of Australia (Majority from South East QLD) to represent Gold Coast United in England.

The boys attended 2 EPL games, had stadium and academy tours and trained at the home of Team England's training facilities. They also played in 8 fixtures against the top category 1 & 2 academies including Liverpool, Everton, Sheffield United, Stoke City, West Brom Albion, Burton Albion, Wolves and Derby County.

The boys represented with pride and returned home undefeated -  a huge achievement for the Aussie boys and the first time their coach has seen any Aussie team in this age group return home with a win, let alone undefeated!

"Thank you to you and the team at Kids on the Border who assisted Forbes to chase his dreams in England.

The confidence and skills he gained both on and off the pitch are priceless

A HUGE thank you to the community that stood behind Forbes to help him experience this opportunity. Forbes' love for the game has increased tenfold and this opportunity will be something he will remember forever." - Mrs Porter

Fit for Life is a youth-focused exercise program across all PCYC NSW Clubs, forages 10-17, training with Police and Community volunteers. The program is based around the PCYC star values commitment, resilience, integrity, citizenship andrespect, which are taught through core messages and reinforced through sporting activities.

Fit for Life comes under the RISEUP strategy developed by the NSW Police Commissioner, connecting disengaged young people to workplace opportunities.

It's been a long past 12 months over covid however it was nice getting back into the community to support some great initiatives like Fit for Life run by PCYC Tweed Heads .

Mark Harrison from PCYC: "We would take it in turn of knocking on the door of Coles and Woolworths asking for some food to help feed the kids. They were great and generally gave us a $50 voucher to help the kids out. Sometimes Oz Harvest would drop some food to us but it was getting harder and harder each week when we continually had to ask for help.

The Kids on the Border backing will help cater the food for the program for 12 months and supply sporting equipment for the activities and reward system for the students. It could not have come at a better time."
