West Auckland’s young Pasifika creatives now have a powerful new platform to share their stories. The Tusitala Collective, led by Tapasā - Navigating the Future and supported by a $20,000 grant from the Your West Support Fund, connects 16–25-year-olds with established Pacific artists and mentors.
Through monthly workshops in writing, visual arts, performance, and media, participants build creative and business skills while exploring what it means to tell authentic Pacific stories.
For young creatives like 17-year-old Lani, the collective offers something invaluable, belief. ‘I don’t always see people like me making it in those spaces,’ she says. Tusitala helps change that.
The Graeme Dingle Foundation Career Navigator programme at Waitakere College, empowers Year 11 rangatahi to explore career pathways and build confidence for their futures.
If you're passionate about mentoring young people and can spare an hour on Tuesday mornings during Terms 2 and 3, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in our West Auckland community.

We were thrilled to support Waitakere Rugby Club's Junior Give it a Go Day, which took place on Saturday 28th February!
Young rugby enthusiasts enjoyed fun activities and a free sausage sizzle thanks to The Trusts Supporters Club at The Good Home. Keep an eye on Waitakere City Rugby Football & Sports Club Inc. for more junior registration events this season!
We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our humble, caring, and dedicated community servant, former Portage Licensing Trust Elected Member Ami Chand, who passed away peacefully in his sleep earlier this week.
Ami served as a PLT Elected Member and Deputy President for 15 years and was elected unopposed to represent the Kelston Ward over numerous terms. In 2022, he stood again but was unfortunately unsuccessful. He also represented PLT as a director on the WATS commercial board from 2010 to 2013.
In recent years, Ami faced ongoing health challenges, yet he never lost his charm, warmth, or sense of humour. He will be remembered as one of life’s true gentlemen, whose commitment to service and kindness left a lasting impact on our community.
Our thoughts are with Ami’s family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him.
