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!

Local celebrities are getting the primary school portrait treatment!

Seven and eight year olds from Titirangi Primary School have been busy sketching well-known Titirangi locals, and their portrait exhibition opens at Crafty Baker in Titirangi and runs through August, so plenty of time to swing by, grab a coffee and see The Wests next generation of artists in action. 

Ka mau te wehi to the young artists and their teachers for putting this together.

Big smiles all round in The West! 😁

Thanks to a $11,022 grant from our 2025 Your West Support Fund, Well Foundation is helping bring free dental care directly to tamariki through their mobile dental outreach service.

Working alongside the Auckland Regional Dental Service, the mobile van visits early learning centres, kōhanga reo, kura kaupapa, marae and community spaces right across The West, removing the barriers that can stop kids getting the care they need.

The funding has gone towards a new trailer and generator, refreshed graphics on the van so it stays visible and welcoming, and toothbrush and toothpaste packs for whānau who need them most.

Healthy smiles, healthier futures. Ngā mihi nui to the team keeping our tamariki grinning.
