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!

The Whau River Catchment Trust grew its annual river clean-up into a bigger community event this year, joining forces with Sport Hub's Dragon Boat Festival. Around 142 people took part in activities run by the Trust, with an estimated 500 more coming through Sport Hub. Eight environmental organisations were there too, sharing conservation know-how and local volunteering opportunities.
Special mention to the 60 Sea Scouts and 20 parents who pulled a trailer load of tyres, polystyrene and plastic pallets out of the upper Whau.
The Whau River Catchment Trust received $20,000 from our 2026 Your West Support Fund for its Te Awa o Whau: Whau River Catchment Landowner Kaitiaki Programme. Have a look at what they do: www.whauriver.org.nz/
