Trust House Ltd
The principle of Trust House supporting worthy causes within the communities where it trades continues a tradition that dates back almost 60 years. The origins of this community owned business date back to 1947 when the Masterton Licensing Trust Act was passed enshrining community ownership of liquor facilities in the Masterton area. Many developmental changes have occurred over the years, especially relating to the hospitality trade, but the belief in the concept of community ownership as being advantageous has not diminished.

The Eastern & Central Community Trust have been tremendou supporters of the National Wildlife Centre and the forest restoration. The Te Whare Huia education room and Cafe Takahe extensions were supported by the Trust, and the forest restoration project has also received substantial support in previous years.
