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!

A huge congratulations to the incredible Rā Charmian who just took out best female artist at the Waiata Maori Music Awards!
We were lucky enough to host her a couple of weeks ago for a live session at Titirangi Theatre for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori as part of our Trusts Live! series.
It's always inspiring to see the amazing talent of our local community. Check out the full video on our new Trusts Live! YouTube channel: youtu.be/uv6ErFzBhD0
There was music, dancing and a whole lot of laughter at the Swanson RSA Memorial Club on Saturday 5 September, as The Filipino-Kiwi Club of New Zealand Incorporated re-launched their charitable organisation with a Spring Charity Fundraising Dinner.
The night brought together the induction of the club's new officers, a traditional Filipino cultural dance presentation, raffles, a delicious dinner and that lovely mix of catching up with old friends and making new ones.
The club is a non-sectarian, non-profit and non-political organisation set up purely for charitable purposes, offering projects and voluntary services and backing other groups working towards the same kaupapa for the benefit of the wider community.
Through our Supporters Club at Liquorland Swanson, we were able to chip in towards the sound and light hire for the evening. A small part of a big night, and we are glad the whānau who made it happen had a room full of people to celebrate with.
