Macarthur Square continues to support Australian Red Cross through blood donations. During the bushfires of Summer 2019/20, Lendlease donated $500,000 to the Australian Red Cross, and Macarthur Square collected donations at events held within the centre.

Youth Solutions works across the Macarthur and Wingecarribee regions of NSW, delivering health education programs, campaigns and activities aimed at reducing and preventing the community’s young people from experiencing the harms of drugs and alcohol.
Macarthur Square has been an ongoing supporter of Youth Solutions, sponsoring the annual Charity Ball.
Big Yelow Umbrella
Big Yellow Umbrella (BYU) has been providing services to the community for over 31 years. Founded in 1987 to provide community services and facilities for the new housing developments and associated growing population in the Macarthur region where there were no existing services, BYU has responded to the changing needs of the community as it has increased in size and diversity.
Orchid Society
Orchid growers who are part of the Campbelltown & District Orchid Society Inc (C&DOS) showcase locally grown, prize-winning Orchids biannually at Macarthur Square.
