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!

When something traumatic happens, knowing where to turn can feel impossible. For 40 years, Manaaki Tāngata - Victim Support has been there for people across The West, offering free 24/7 support to anyone affected by crime or a traumatic event, including their whānau and witnesses.
In the past year alone, the team supported more than 5,000 people right here in The West with practical help, emotional support, court advocacy and connections to specialist services. Chief Executive James McCulloch calls it 'help with heart', and 96% of people surveyed agreed the service was helpful or very helpful.
We're proud to back Manaaki Tāngata with $15,258 through the 2026 Your West Support Fund to help grow their local team and specialist training.
