Do you need Curtains to help keep you warm? Can you donate some curtains?
Why curtains are important
Good quality, lined curtains that fit your windows well are an essential part of a warm, energy efficient home. If your curtains are thin, single layered, torn, or poorly fitting, they should be replaced. Even the energy efficiency of double-glazed windows is improved with good curtains.
Curtain Bank
The Curtain Bank (CEA) collect donated second hand curtains and give them away to households who cannot afford curtains. Curtains from their Curtain Bank are available to anyone in need, you do not need a Community Services Card. Curtains are also available for rental properties. Their recycled curtains will be double-layered and resized where required.

Freed from my secret life
I came to my first meeting because my obsession with food was driving me crazy mentally, and because I was afraid I would not be able to stop putting on weight. I was embarrassed and angry about being there. I found the meetings very confronting and I only managed two, even though it had been suggested by a member to go to six. I stayed away for several months and then came back to stay, after more time of battling over and under eating and the obsession with food. I had already been in Alcoholics Anonymous eighteen months at that stage. After putting down alcohol and drugs, the food obsession became extreme.
