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!

Saucy. Stacked. Dripping with goodness.
The Great Westie Burger Battle is ON. 🔥Which one are you taking a bite of?

Our Supporters Club is growing! Until now, the monthly donations of up to $500 came from our eight hospitality venues. From here, two of our retail stores will each nominate a recipient every month too, taking it to 10 outlets getting behind local causes.
That could be a hand with sports gear or club running costs, support for a school event, or a bit of backing to get a new neighbourhood idea off the ground. It's not a huge sum, but we know it can make a real difference when it lands with the right people.
Applications are open every month, and eligible groups can receive funding up to three times in a financial year.

Fifteen burgers. One month. A genuinely tough decision ahead of you.
From $13.99 at Chickmate to $42 at Mr Illingsworth, the Westie Burger Battle covers the full range this year. Butter chicken, duck confit, battered fish bites, triple smashed patties, and one entry that gave up on buns entirely.
It's a good month to be hungry in The West.
Full list on our website.
