We’re excited to be presenting the Back O’ Bourke YouthFest this Saturday at the Bourke Showground. Kobie Dee, Castlereagh Connection, Breanna Lee and Aunty Sharron are the incredible performers on the line-up. As well as live music there’ll be traditional dancers, mechanical bucking bull, VR experiences, inflatable activities, giant games, sausage sizzle, face painting and more! It’s going to be an amazing day for our community – we look forward to seeing you there!

The aim of National Families Week is to celebrate the vital role families play in Australian society. National Families Week runs from May 13 to 19, 2024 and this year’s theme is “celebrating family diversity and connections”. Our event on Friday May 17 will mark the week with playgroup activities, sausage sizzle, face painting and goodie bags. Bring your family and friends for some fun to the Cooke Park Pavilion at Parkes.

We support parents and families in creating supportive and nurturing environments that enable children to grow up healthy, confident and resilient.
