Just recently the café was forced to shut their doors after youth misbehaved at the centre and there was an attempted break-in.
The café also has a history of struggling for volunteers to help operate the centre but just recently, got a grant of $260,000 to fund a full-time position.
Currently the café is open Wednesday through to Saturday how-ever the full-time position will apparently allow the café to open seven days a week.
The new funding arrangement is being finalised and PCYC are in the process of recruiting staff, once this is completed PCYC Ma-reeba will be offering extended opening hours.
