Wiri Trust
Joseph Allan knows how hard it is for small clubs to obtain funds, no matter how worthy the cause may be. He made his first grant application 33 years ago for saxophones so young children could learn how to play music. And over the past 25 years he has run a local charitable organisation that provides affordable music tuition to Manurewa Youth.

Joseph Allan has been pleased to support local organisations over the past 3 years, as an elected Wiri Trustee.

He acknowledges the success of these community groups is largely due to passionate and dedicated volunteers who have a heart for the people of Manurewa.

He can't do it alone. To ensure transparency of funding, the quality management of Trust Assets and continuation of valued partnerships, vote All six #LoveManurewa candidates.
