Social and Community Programs

 

WINGS Drop-In Centre/ Safe Aboriginal Youth

The WINGS Drop-in Centre provides youth development activities in Wilcannia including school holiday programs, after school programs, support for the Far West Academy of  Sport including the junior rugby league program and community cultural activities.

Attendance to the WINGS program has increased significantly with the addition of new staff and extra support from the Night Patrol workers. The additional support from the  Night Patrol staff has been a positive move and  we are looking at aligning WINGS and Night Patrol activities so that the children of Wilcannia will have a more integrated and appropriate service.
