Community Support

Giving back to our community for social good!

We support great community causes and initiatives with a current key focus on sponsorships for community events.

To serve our purpose we like to support organisations that can clearly show they provide value to our wider community. Preference is given to applications which engage or benefit larger numbers of people in our community - especially children and youth.

We have a set of brand guidelines for you to use on your publicity material - CLICK HERE TO VIEW THEM. Please provide a copy of all use of branding to the WLT Marketing team by email: [email protected]

Our giving back to the community has two areas of funding

 

WIRI LICENSING TRUST - DIRECT FUNDING

The first area of funding is generated from profits from our commercial operations, being our hospitality venues and property assets. 


The Trustees are guided by the Wiri Licencing Trusts polices and have considerable discretion over the allocation of these funds to our community. 


The future focus will be on sponsoring large community wide events that engage or benefit larger numbers of people in our community and to support and raise both the profile of the requesting community organisation and the Wiri Trust. 

 
 
 
 
 

GAMING MACHINE FUNDING

Gaming machines are present in our hospitality venues and these machines are owned and operated by our selected gaming society partner called Trillian Trust.


Under New Zealand’s gaming laws, our trustees’ have a say in the distribution of the net proceeds of gaming funds collected in our catchment area, by way of monthly recommendations to Trillian Trust. This ensures the net proceeds from these gaming machines goes back into our community.


We encourage community organisations within the Wiri Licensing Trust area to apply to Trillian for funding assistance for worthwhile community projects, especially those which are supported by our purpose.


Should you require further information or assistance in developing your application, please contact us and we will be happy to help.

We are very aware of the personal, social and economic costs associated with gaming machines, with problem gambling and associated personal and family impacts. As such, we work closely with Trillian to minimise harm and maintain high standards at our venues.
