Curtain reuse

Donate your curtains to the Wellington Curtain Bank

We desperately need donations of good quality, mould-free curtains to continue helping families in need.

Our Wellington Curtain Bank up-cycles pre-loved curtains and gives them to low-income families in the Wellington Region. Because we up-cycle curtains for homes, we have some strict requirements about what we can accept.

We take:

Good quality, mould-free pre-loved curtains
Fabric rolls or large offcuts of fabric
Tracks and hooks
Rolls of white/cream or grey, poplin/polyester/cotton or calico

We don’t take:

Dirty, sun-damaged or mouldy curtains
Curtain rods or brackets
Blinds or netting
Not sure if we’ll be able to accept your curtains? Call 0505 78 78 24 ext 705 or get in touch.

Got Donations? You can drop them off to any of the following places:
