The program restarted for the year on Saturday, January 18 and since then already 180 children have walked through the doors of the PCYC for a night of fun and games off the streets.
It's been nearly a year since the program began in February 2019.
Established by the local New England Police District and PCYC, the initiative provides young people with a safe place to go on Saturday evenings, diverting them away from engaging in anti-social behaviour.
Moree officer-in-charge Martin Burke said the program has seen great success.
"In 2019 we saw over 3000 children attend Saturday nights at the PCYC with over 100 children attending on some nights," he said.
"The program has been well supported by local community volunteers and service providers.
"Police would like to thank to community volunteers, local businesses and service providers who have supported the program so far and look forward to working with them into the future."
Inspector Burke invites more members of the community to get involved in the rewarding program.
