Free curtains for Hutt people

Sustainability Trust

If you have a Community Services Card, you can get free curtains through Pomare Taita Community Trust from Monday 11-Friday 22 June. Get info and an order form from the Centre early next week, take it home to measure your windows and fill it in, and bring it back before Friday, June 22.

Wellington Curtain Bank then makes the curtains to fit your windows, lining for extra warmth, and drops them back to the Pomare Taita Community Trust for you to take home and hang. Curtains can keep heat in, cold out and power bills down – a great way to get ready for winter. For more info head to the Pomare Taita Community Trust at 55 Farmer Crescent, Pomare, Lower Hutt, or call Wellington Curtain Bank on freephone 0508 78 78 24.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
