Keeping it local
From Huia to Whenuapai and everywhere in between, The Trusts are all about keeping things local in our communities.
Thatâs 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 day out for the tamariki and whÄnau of Glendene Playcentre! The kids headed to Butterfly Creek for a hands-on morning of exploring, learning and playing together, and came back buzzing with new discoveries and a kete full of special memories.
Trips like these open up a whole new world for our littlest learners in The West. NgÄ mihi nui to everyone at Glendene Playcentre for sharing the day with us, we loved seeing the smiles!
