Wellington Curtain Bank comes to Upper Hutt
We're bringing our Curtain Bank service to Upper Hutt from September 17-28 – between 12-2pm!! We make it easier for some communities to access our service by coming to them.
Anyone with a Community Services Card or Super Gold Combo Card can go to the Rimutaka Baptist Church (2 Akatarawa Rd, Upper Hutt) to pick up a window measurement form, take it home to fill out the details, then bring it back to complete the order.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
