Curtains can be handy for cooling & warming - can you help?
From Sustainability Trust
Can you help the Wellington Curtain bank?
We need your help to keep the Wellington Curtain Bank operating, so we can continue to dress the windows of families in need and keep material waste out of landfill.
Since the Curtain Bank started in 2010 over 17,500 sets of curtains have gone out to over 4,800 families. We take donated curtains and retrofit them to ensure they are lined and measured for the windows of families in need across the region.
The Curtain Bank has two members of staff, supported by an incredible team of 30 volunteers. Last year, the vollies donated a whopping 4,045 hours, sorting, measuring, unpicking, cleaning, sewing and packing curtains.
Over the last 12 years, we have kept 78 tonnes of material waste out of landfill and 93 tonnes of Co2 out of the atmosphere.
