Sponsorship
We are proud sponsors
The Wiri Licensing Trust and our flagship venue, Woodside Bar Dining and Functions, are proud to sponsor these organisations in 2026.







interested in sponsorship?
We sponsor a variety of groups and events in our community. We will consider sponsorship proposals that offer impact and a wide reach and that prioritise the following areas:
- Volunteer support and recognition – initiatives that recognise, reward or support the volunteers who contribute their time to our community.
- Participation and inclusivity – opportunities that remove barriers, encourage participation and help more people feel included and connected.
- Alignment with Wiri Licensing Trust priorities – initiatives that support our focus areas and create meaningful benefit for the communities we serve.
- Community visibility and connection – opportunities that genuinely connect WLT with local people.
- Local benefit – preference for initiatives benefiting people within the Wiri Licensing Trust area and surrounding South Auckland communities.
- Community wellbeing – initiatives that strengthen communities, create connection, or improve wellbeing.
- Youth and whānau participation – particularly where sponsorship removes barriers to getting involved.
- Mutual Support – groups that actively look for ways to work with WLT in return, including supporting and promoting Woodside, the flagship venue that helps generate funds for our community.
- Value for money – appropriate reach and impact relative to the level of sponsorship requested.
