As a Charitable Trust itself, Pub Charity
supports communities all over New Zealand. Thanks to our
venue operators raising funds through operating our gaming
machines, Pub Charity is able to make a huge difference to a
wide range of local causes by returning millions of dollars
to New Zealand communities.
