Donate your curtains to help a family in need

The Southern Initiative

With winter in full force Auckland’s two curtain banks urgently need filling up with good quality second-hand curtains to be distributed to families in need.

The Auckland Council, the DHBs and Healthy Homes Initiatives Kainga Ora and AWHI are working together to improve the quality of homes to keep children well, and out of hospital, in this time of cold and illness.

The curtain banks will wash, double line and size second-hand curtains to fit homes and will gladly use any donated curtain material. If you have any curtains in good condition (mould-free) or curtain material please drop them off at the following locations.

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?
