Last chance to get free curtains!

Sustainability Trust

If you live in Wainuiomata, have a Community Services Card, and need curtains, go to the Wainuiomata Community Centre today!

Wellington Curtain Bank is giving free curtains to people who need them. Go to the community centre to pick up a form, take it home to measure your windows and bring your form back by Friday, August 18th. We make the curtains especially to fit your window, and then drop them back to the community centre for you to take home and hang.

Curtains keep the heat in, the cold out and the power bills down. To find out more go to the event on Facebook, call 0508 78 78 24 x 705, or head to the community centre at 1A Queen Street.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
