If you have a Community Services Card, you can get free curtains through Porirua Whānau Centre this week. Get info and an order form from the Centre from tomorrow, take it home to measure your windows and fill it in, and bring it back before Friday, May 11.

Wellington Curtain Bank then makes the curtains to fit your windows, lining for extra warmth, and drops them back to the Whānau Centre 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 Whānau Centre at 16 Bedford Court, Cannons Creek or call Wellington Curtain Bank on freephone 0508 78 78 24.

Child safety gate

Sarah from Tawa

Anyone got an old one of these wooden child safety gates they no longer want? Any condition will do as we'll cut to size and hinge to the wall. Would also be interested in a child safety gate for a fireplace if you have one? Our son just started crawling so time to seriously childproof! 😂

This Saturday the Tawa Lions Market at Outlet City will be open from 9am to 2pm, featuring our regular Fruit and Vege vendor along with our own Lions stall with eggs and honey. We also feature a bookstall weather-permitting. There may well be other stalls on the day.

We will have honey stocks of creamed Clover, Bush and Manuka/Bush, along with liquid (runny) Meadow and Manuka/Bush. Our 600g pots of Manuka/Bush come in at $3.00 per 100g and our 900g pots (everything else) come in at $1.76 per 100g - great value when compared to supermarket prices and such good quality that Helen puts her phone number on every label.

We also have stocks of jams that we sell on behalf of Suzette from Idle Kitchen.

Tawa Lions gratefully acknowledges the support of Outlet City in providing the venue for our Market.
