Westfield Local Heroes

The 4 key criteria we look for

1

ROLE MODELS

Westfield Local Heroes are positive role models who lead by example and who are trusted and respected by members of their community.

2

IMPACTFUL CONTRIBUTIONS

Our heroes’ work or actions positively impact the communities or environment within the local area of a Westfield centre.

3

GRANTS SUPPORT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

The organisations that our finalists and heroes represent spend their Westfield Local Heroes grants in ways that directly benefit the community or environment within the local area of a Westfield centre.

4

COMMUNITY VISION

Our finalists and heroes’ organisations have clear goals on how they will continue to help their local communities thrive and build resilience. Westfield looks for additional ways to work with these organisations to help them grow their impact.
