Great Mates - Enrolments Open

FREE Youth Program for Boys Aged 12 - 16

The first round of ‘Great Mates’ has finished, and it has been an incredible term! Every one of the boys has put in 100% effort week in and week out, and we couldn’t be more proud of them. Each session we have had discussions around Positive Masculinity and Mateship, while still having time for Nerf Wars, Aluminium Tower Competitions, Kickboxing Sessions and Reptiles Shows!


As we say goodbye to these terrific young men that have been a part of our program, it’s time to offer a brand new group of boys their own ‘Great Mates’ journey.


Our next round will begin on the 15 February 2024 and run until the 4 April 2024. The program will run every Thursday evening from 4pm - 6pm. Participation  is FREE and all food, beverages and resources will be provided!

This program is proudly funded by the NSW Government and offered by The Place Charlestown Community Centre in collaboration with Well Education.

Connecting Our Community Through The NSW Device Bank Pilot Program

by Cristelle Govender • 2 September 2026
The Place is proud to be the first community organisation in NSW to take part in the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program, supporting more people in our community to get connected and build confidence online. Through the program, we helped allocate 30 refurbished laptops to local people in our community, including seniors, carers, people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Participants receive 12 months of free data, digital skills training and IT Support to help them make the most of their device. Delivered by NSW Telco Authority in partnership with WorkVentures and Good Things Australia, the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program is part of the NSW Government’s Digital Inclusion Strategy. The program helps bridge the digital divide by giving people access to the essential technology, connectivity and support needed in today’s digital world. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity for our local community and want to thank everyone who made it possible.
