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!

Around 1,000 locals walk through the doors of Ranui Action Project - RAP every year. Their Swanson Road base is a true community hub, offering everything from free learner licence courses to CV help, job-seeking support, free legal clinics and events like their recent Matariki flax weaving celebration.
Between July 2024 and June 2025 alone, Rānui Action Project helped 124 residents progress towards their driver licences and supported 73 people with job-seeking. While based in Rānui, their reach extends across Henderson, Massey and Swanson too.
We're proud to contribute $20,000 through this year's Your West Support Fund towards the day-to-day mahi that keeps this whānau-focused kaupapa running.

Something unique is coming to Henderson this August.
Over the past year, Wordcore Wayfinders have been bringing emerging artists together through free workshops across The West. Now it's time to experience the results.
Illuminated Horizons is an immersive live performance where poets, musicians and visual artists come together to present original works created through months of collaboration.
We're proud to support those workshops through our Your West Support Fund, making it easier for local creatives to develop their craft and take to the stage.
📍 Te Puna Creative Hub, Henderson
🗓️ 6pm, 29 August

Local celebrities are getting the primary school portrait treatment!
Seven and eight year olds from Titirangi Primary School have been busy sketching well-known Titirangi locals, and their portrait exhibition opens at Crafty Baker in Titirangi and runs through August, so plenty of time to swing by, grab a coffee and see The West's next generation of artists in action.
Ka mau te wehi to the young artists and their teachers for putting this together.
