Roskill Together Trust

What Roskill Together Trust does

Roskill Together Trust is a community charitable trust operating in the Puketāpapa | Mount Roskill area of Auckland, New Zealand. Founded in 2011 as part of the Department of Internal Affairs Community Led Development Pilot programme, it became an independent charitable trust in 2017. The organization employs approximately 6 staff, including a Community Development Manager and a Community Development Coordinator, supported by a Board of Trustees. It serves residents across six suburbs — Hillsborough, Lynfield, Mt. Roskill, Three Kings, Waikowhai and Wesley — one of the most culturally diverse areas in New Zealand.

The trust delivers a portfolio of programmes and services organized around an "Action, Connect, Collaborate, Grow" framework. Core initiatives include Recovery & Resilience in Roskill (a community-led flood recovery programme launched in response to the 2023 Auckland Anniversary and Cyclone Gabriel Floods), Inspiring Puketāpapa Climate Care (a participatory grant-making programme formerly known as Do Good Feel Good, distributing micro-grants of NZD 1,000), Puketāpapa Neighbours Day, Ngā Herenga Waka (cultural diversity programming), and the (now-concluded) Children's Panel. Community resources such as Local Stars storytelling, Hidden Gems of Roskill guides, and a Community Resources & Publications library round out the offering. Umbrella Services provide structured support — including legal incorporation guidance, funding application assistance, project management, and community connection — to new community groups.

The business model is non-commercial. There are no paid products or services. Revenue is sourced from donations, the Puketāpapa Local Board, Auckland Council, the Auckland Climate Grant, and other charitable funders, with a small admin fee applied on grants over NZD 1,000. The go-to-market is community-led: street chats, talanoa sessions, surveys, door knocking, and kitchen-table conversations supported by community events, organic social (Instagram), website content, and partner referrals. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability, and no commercial sales motion.
