Keeping it local
From Huia to Whenuapai and everywhere in between, The Trusts are all about keeping things local in our communities.
That’s why our surplus profits go right back into local schools, community groups, businesses, and people who are dedicated to helping our place thrive.
Owned by the community. Run by the community. For the community.
Our Funds
There are five avenues for support from The Trusts.
Our Support and Innovation Funds help local community organisations handle major projects, cover operational costs and foster new initiatives.
For a little extra helping hand throughout the year our smaller Supporter’s Club and Community Donations provide a boost to local projects while our Sponsorships bring extra funds to businesses working to enhance The West.
If you need help to bring about positive change in our community find out how we can support you or get in touch!

Calling all history buffs out West! The Huia Settlers Museum is hosting an Oral History Day on Sunday 20 September at the Huia Hall, and it's shaping up to be a cracker.
This year's theme is Rails in the Ranges, presented by Stewart Harvey (author of Water from the West). Stewart will also share the story of Hector, the locomotive that helped build the Upper and Lower Huia Dams. A proper slice of Waitākere history.
Kicks off at 2pm. Entry is $5 for adults, under 12s free, and a light afternoon tea is included.
Head along and support the team at The Huia Settlers Museum keeping our local stories alive.

Netball Waitākere brings more than 7,500 Westies together through netball every year, from five-year-olds learning their first pass to premier players competing at the top of the club game. Alongside that sit walking netball for older players and an all-access disability programme for tamariki with additional needs, so there really is a place on court for everyone.
We're proud to be renewing our naming rights sponsorship of The Trusts 2027 Premier Competition, running Wednesday evenings from April through August with 12 teams across two divisions. Games are livestreamed too, so whānau near and far can cheer the teams on.
Our relationship with Netball Waitākere goes back many years, and we're rapt to keep backing the mahi they do across the West. Learn more at netballwaitakere.co.nz

The Great Westie Burger Battle is back. 🍔
Fifteen of The West's best burger vendors have put together something special for September. Katsu crumbed fish. Korean fried chicken in a doughnut bun. An entire slow cooked short rib. A burger that's actually a pizza. There's a lot going on.
Every one of them is available throughout September, and the winner takes the 2026 trophy plus a $500 shout for their team.
Get out there, eat well, and back your favourite.
