Donate your curtains to the Wellington Curtain Bank

The Wellington Curtain Bank upcycles preloved curtains and gives them to low-income families in the Wellington Region.

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


We take:

  • Good quality, mould-free curtains

  • Fabric rolls or large offcuts of fabric

  • Tracks and hooks

We don’t take:

  • Dirty, sun-damaged or mouldy curtains

  • Any type of blinds

  • Netting

Not sure what we accept? Watch the video below, give us a call or flick us an email.


The Wellington Curtain Bank needs preloved curtains or rolls of fabric to turn in to double-layered curtains for families in need. In this video, we will go though what the Curtain Bank does and does not accept
