Community One is currently raising funds for Gold Coast organisation Paradise Kids. The Resort is aiming to raise enough funds to provide two Melbourne families with a terminally ill child a great family holiday on the Gold Coast. To accomplish this goal Community One needs to raise over $8,000. This holiday for both families will include airfares, transfers, five nights accommodation at the Paradise Kids house, theme park tickets, meals, and counselling and therapy sessions.
Paradise Kids is a locally based and founded organisation established in 1996 on the Gold Coast. The founders Rev Dr Ian Mavor and Deirdre Hanna wanted to create a place where children could come to 'help heal their heartache' when faced with a traumatic situation in their little lives. The emphasis is on 'heart work' which means Paradise Kids takes a holistic approach to address all aspects of the child – body, mind and spirit.

Royal Pines Resort was proud to sponsor 'Tyson' our Guide Dogs QLD Puppy. The Resort raised $25,000 to put Tyson through an intense 3 year training program. Established in 1960, Guide Dogs Queensland has been helping to “equip, empower and educate” blind and vision impaired Queenslanders, of all ages, with a wide range of top-quality orientation and mobility services. With less than seven per cent government funding for some specific rehabilitation services, and none for our Guide Dogs, they rely on the generosity of individuals and corporate sponsors so that they can continue to fund their vital work.
