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!

What a night for the wāhine of Wolves Netball.
The club recently held its end of season prizegiving, celebrating the players, volunteers and supporters who keep things running week in, week out. Wolves Netball is a women's club built around one simple idea: get more women out on court, active, and part of local sport.
A Supporters Club grant from The Trusts and the team at The Good Home went towards the awards handed out on the night, recognising the talent and hard work shown on court all season.
In the club's words, the night would not have been possible without it, and it helps keep their costs low so more women can give netball a go.

More and more whānau in The West are living in garages, sleepouts and other converted spaces, and smoke alarms often aren't installed, or get taken down because cooking and moisture set them off. That leaves people vulnerable to fire.
The team at Waitemata - Fire and Emergency are doing something about it with Sound Check West, a first-of-its-kind youth-led campaign rolling out to Henderson and Ranui schools in early 2027. Rangatahi will film themselves installing a smoke or heat alarm, either in their own home or in the home of an older or vulnerable neighbour, with free Home Fire Safety Visits to follow later in the year.
Fire and Emergency is providing the free smoke alarms, and we're proud to come on board as a sponsor to fund specialised heat alarms, which work well in sleepouts and garages because everyday steam and cooking don't trigger them.
Up to 300 young people, hundreds of safer homes. Ka mau te wehi.
