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!

Most of us teach our tamariki how to cross the road safely, but talking about personal safety can feel a lot harder to navigate.
That is where HELP: Auckland comes in. Their early-intervention programme, We Can Keep Safe, is now in its 30th year and is being delivered to preschool tamariki right across The West, thanks to support from our Your West Support Fund.
Over a six-part workshop series, three to five year olds learn about bodily autonomy, recognising yes and no feelings, safe and unsafe touch, and the difference between secrets and surprises. It all happens through storytelling, songs, role-play and a child-sized puppet named Toby, with early childhood educator Jude Bishop leading the sessions.
Whānau also get take-home workbooks so the kōrero keeps going at home. A year on, 92% of tamariki still remember how to tell a trusted adult.
