Keeping it local
From Huia to Whenuapai and everywhere in between, The Trusts are all about keeping things local in our communities.
Thatâs 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!

The Nest Collective NZ put together pÄpi packs filled with more than 150 essential items, from clothing and bedding to books, toys and safety gear, and gives them free to families who need them. Volunteer crafters add handmade booties, blankets, hats and knitted toys to every pack.
This year their Auckland branch has already distributed 242 packs, including 94 to whÄnau right across The West.
As one young mum, Hanna, put it after her boxes arrived: "I just felt loved at a time when I was really alone."
We are proud to have chipped in $5,000 through the Your West Support Fund to help buy items that donations cannot always cover, like merino sleeping bags, towels and thermometers.
