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!

We were thrilled to support Waitakere Rugby Club's Junior Give it a Go Day, which took place on Saturday 28th February!
Young rugby enthusiasts enjoyed fun activities and a free sausage sizzle thanks to The Trusts Supporters Club at The Good Home. Keep an eye on Waitakere City Rugby Football & Sports Club Inc. for more junior registration events this season!
We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our humble, caring, and dedicated community servant, former Portage Licensing Trust Elected Member Ami Chand, who passed away peacefully in his sleep earlier this week.
Ami served as a PLT Elected Member and Deputy President for 15 years and was elected unopposed to represent the Kelston Ward over numerous terms. In 2022, he stood again but was unfortunately unsuccessful. He also represented PLT as a director on the WATS commercial board from 2010 to 2013.
In recent years, Ami faced ongoing health challenges, yet he never lost his charm, warmth, or sense of humour. He will be remembered as one of life’s true gentlemen, whose commitment to service and kindness left a lasting impact on our community.
Our thoughts are with Ami’s family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him.
We’ve officially renewed the lease for Give a Kid a Blanket at their Henderson headquarters for another three years!
From our cozy Railside Ave offices to the bigger, ground-floor space, we’ve loved watching Bernie, Turtle, and their amazing charity grow. Providing this space is one way we can help them provide essential items to local families in need.
