Curtain Donations Needed - Christchurch

Community Energy Action Charitable Trust is appealing to households replacing curtains to donate the old ones to the Curtain Bank. The Curtain Bank, a Community Energy Action project, fits recycled thermal and lined curtains in the homes of low income households to minimise heat loss from windows. However, without donations from the public the Curtain Bank cannot provide this assistance.
This winter has been the most successful ever in the Curtain Bank’s 15 year history. The Curtain Bank fitted curtains to 1470 windows in the homes of 342 households on low incomes. The amount of fabric fitted, more than 4600m2 would fit 10 netball courts.

The Curtain Bank has now closed for clients over summer, reopening again after Easter 2010. Curtains can still be dropped off at Community Energy Action, 198 Armagh St (back of the Orion building).
