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!

Big news for growing whānau in The West!
Well Foundation is creating a dedicated education space inside the new Primary Birthing Unit being built at Waitākere Hospital.
A $20,000 Your West Support Fund grant will help kit out the space with equipment, teaching resources and furniture, making it warm and welcoming for parents-to-be.
More than 1,000 parents and caregivers are expected to use the hub each year for antenatal classes, postnatal support and parenting programmes, all in the same place they receive their maternity care.
From Henderson to Te Atatū, Massey to Rānui, this is about giving local tamariki the best possible start.

The annual Dragon Boat Festival Family Day at Corban Estate Arts Centre was a beautiful celebration of culture, whānau and community, hosted by the wonderful Waitākere Chinese Association.
From traditional performances and music to arts, crafts, food and family-friendly activities, the festival brought people of all ages and backgrounds together to share in a centuries-old Chinese tradition of heritage, remembrance and community spirit.
Our elected members were honoured to attend and join the celebration. While this isn't an event we fund, we love seeing the way cultural events like this strengthen connections right across The West.
A huge thank you to the Waitākere Chinese Association, and all the volunteers, performers and organisers who made the day so special. Henei tō tātou hapori! 🐉
