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!

What makes a great Westie? To us, it’s those who show up week after week, making our community a better place.
That’s why we’re introducing our first Hero of The West, Barbara Murphy, Chairman of the New Lynn Stags Rugby League Club
Currently serving her 10th and final year at the helm, Barb has led the Stags into a thriving new era, including a massive boom in the junior girls' game, with 8 new teams.
While Barbara has been Chairman for a decade, her family’s history with the club goes back to the 1960s, when the clubhouse was just a toilet block and the committee sat on beer crates for meetings!
"It’s New Lynn or nothing," she says. "If you have dedicated people behind you, you’ll succeed. Everyone’s there for the love of the game."
The Trusts Live is highlighting incredible artists performing original music in iconic West Auckland locations.
Sam Cullen Music and Jessie Booth Music perform three original songs and talk about growing up in The West, the legacy of Bruce Springsteen, The Killers, Sam Fender, and The War on Drugs. Expect big-hearted rock with pop instincts and a streak of nostalgia running through it. Filmed on the rooftop of Lopdell Precinct in Titirangi
