Who We Are

OUR HISTORY

1989-1992: Group of 5 local residents formed an unincorporated group to tackle local problems, originally including speeding, traffic management, anti-social behavior, alcohol and drug awareness, and community development activities. It was incorporated in 1993 known as Silver Bridle Action Group Inc.

In 2013, it entered a 15-year facilities management agreement with the Gold Coast City Council until 2027 to run Lynne Richardson Community Centre in Molendinar. Since then it has run several programmes, providing support and assistance to both local and broader communities through programs tailored for all ages and stages of life.

What We Do

We are dedicated to helping individuals and families through a range of inclusive services, including a community food bank, emergency relief, and outreach programs.

In addition, at the Centre we offers referrals to external agencies for further support in areas such as substance abuse, domestic and family violence, and homelessness.
