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 special evening celebrating community, connection and kai at the 2026 Fair Food Matariki Awards! 🌟
Hosted by Fair Food, the awards honoured the volunteers, donors, community partners and supporters who help make their kaupapa possible - rescuing quality surplus food and getting it to whānau who need it most, rather than landfill.
Guests were treated to spectacular fire performances by Tahi Mana and a delicious hāngī that brought everyone together over kōrero and shared purpose. We left with full bellies and full hearts.
Congratulations to all the award recipients, and ngā mihi nui to everyone who supports this incredible mahi across The West.

Bricklane remains temporarily closed following an armed robbery at the venue yesterday which threatened the safety of our staff and customers.
Our team's wellbeing is our immediate priority and we are giving them the time and support they need. We are grateful that no one was physically injured.
We are working with Police and will reopen when it is the right time to do so. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Lights, camera, community!
Glass Ceiling Arts Collective delivers inclusive performing arts classes for people from marginalised communities, particularly young people with disabilities. Their weekly classes in Massey (theatre), New Lynn (singing) and Kelston (dance) bring together participants with and without disabilities, alongside siblings and peers, to create together.
Through the 2026 Your West Support Fund round, Glass Ceiling received $20,000 to help deliver these classes across the region. That work culminates each year in a full public production, and this year the cast of 26 performers aged 12 to 31 is preparing to stage Beauty and the Beast Junior at Glen Eden Playhouse Theatre from 3 to 5 September.
'The whole cast is super-excited and busy learning lines and songs,' says Production Manager Briar Elliott.
Can't wait to see this one.
