Community initiatives

Pacific Fair is committed to supporting a wide variety of community based activities and organisations that deliver real benefits to the people who live, work and play on the Gold Coast.  The centre supports a number of charities including those listed below:

• ACT for Kids
  Formally known as the Abused Children's Trust, ACT for Kids is a registered charity which aims to break the cycle of abuse and neglect in Australia.  Pacific Fair Shopping Centre has been a partner of ACT for Kids since the late 1990's and over this time the centre has supported the Trust by providing funds for several important projects including the development of a Children's Play Park and a meeting room for counselling purposes.
