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!

Something special is taking root in The West! 🌱
We were lucky enough to join Triangle Park Community Teaching Garden recently for the very first community planting day of their new Food Forest. Alongside volunteers and local whānau, we helped pop the first seedlings into the whenua, marking the start of a syntropic food forest that will nourish the community for generations.
The first plants going in are support species, the humble heroes that build healthy soil, attract pollinators and set the scene for fruit and food trees to thrive later on.
It's a beautiful example of community-led action, and we're proud to support the kaupapa through our Your West Support Fund.

What a way to spend an afternoon in The West! More than 200 rangatahi hit the streets from New Lynn Memorial Square all the way to Henderson for Zeal's Whau to Hendo Photo Scavenger Hunt. Teams tackled creative challenges, snapped photos, explored their local spaces, and had a blast at activations along the route, all wrapped up with kai, music and prizegiving at Zeal West Auckland.
Held during Matariki, the event gave young people the chance to connect, reflect and celebrate the communities they call home. Huge thanks to the Zeal West team for the incredible mahi they do for our rangatahi. We're proud to back this kaupapa through our Your West Support Fund 2026.

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.
