Do you need Curtains to help keep you warm? Can you donate some curtains?
Why curtains are important
Good quality, lined curtains that fit your windows well are an essential part of a warm, energy efficient home. If your curtains are thin, single layered, torn, or poorly fitting, they should be replaced. Even the energy efficiency of double-glazed windows is improved with good curtains.
Curtain Bank
The Curtain Bank (CEA) collect donated second hand curtains and give them away to households who cannot afford curtains. Curtains from their Curtain Bank are available to anyone in need, you do not need a Community Services Card. Curtains are also available for rental properties. Their recycled curtains will be double-layered and resized where required.
Donating Curtains
If you have curtains you can donate see the link for times and locations where you can drop them off.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
