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!

Something special is taking root in The West! 🌱
We were lucky enough to join Triangle Park Community Teaching Garden recently for the very first community planting day of their new Food Forest. Alongside volunteers and local whānau, we helped pop the first seedlings into the whenua, marking the start of a syntropic food forest that will nourish the community for generations.
The first plants going in are support species, the humble heroes that build healthy soil, attract pollinators and set the scene for fruit and food trees to thrive later on.
It's a beautiful example of community-led action, and we're proud to support the kaupapa through our Your West Support Fund.
