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!

Our FY26 Annual Report is out, and it shows our biggest funding round yet through the Your West Support Fund and Your West Innovation Fund, plus monthly Supporters Club grants from our venues and direct donations to local groups.
Behind those numbers are the people doing the mahi every day across The West. The volunteers, coaches, mentors, food rescuers, river restorers, kindy teachers and support workers who show up for their neighbours when times are tough.
Thank you to everyone who shops and eats with us. Every visit to a Trusts store or venue helps keep this going.
