About Us

We are primarily focussed on serving the communities of the wider Hobsonville and Whenuapai areas as well as wider Auckland, especially the North West.

Our purpose is to grow inclusive, connected, resilient and thriving communities by addressing local needs and empowering impactful initiatives through shared spaces, partnerships, advocacy, social enterprise, and leadership that foster wellbeing and lasting community-led change.

We recognise that every person, family and community has a range of emotional, physical, social, educational and spiritual needs and that it takes a whole community, working together, and operating in its strengths, to help those needs be met. 

We use the health & well-being model of ‘Te Whare Tapa Wha’ to guide our approach as we support and serve our wider community.

We also manage the Headquarters Building and Sunderland Lounge community facilities on behalf of Auckland Council and these are available to anyone and any group to hire that meet the terms & conditions of hire.

We coordinate the Hobsonville Emergency Response Group, Whenuapai Area Community Emergency Response Group and facilitate the NorthWest Community Emergency Readiness Network.

Our Trust was originally known as Hobsonville Community Trust and was founded back in 2012 by three local Christian churches that wanted to see the rapidly growing community empowered, supported, and advocated for. The Trust works with and supports people of all beliefs, ethnicities and backgrounds and provides a wide range of community networks, initiatives and events.
