Get free curtains in Wainuiomata
Wellington Curtain Bank returns to Wainuiomata! We make it easier for some communities to access our Curtain Bank — by coming to them.
Anyone with a Community Services Card or Super Gold Combo Card can go to Wainuiomata Community Centre to pick up a window measurement form, take it home to fill out the details, then bring it back to complete the order. We then make the curtains and get them back to Wainuiomata for families to hang.
We're working with Wainuiomata Community Centre to bring the service to Wainui whanau from August 13 to 24. See more info about the Wellington Curtain Bank here.
For more info, you can contact the Curtain Bank on freephone 0508 78 78 24 x 705 or Wainuomata Community Centre on 04 564 5262.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
