Still time to get free curtains Porirua!

Sustainability Trust

If you have a Community Services Card, you can get free curtains through Porirua Whānau Centre this week. Get info and an order form from the Centre early next week, take it home to measure your windows and fill it in, and bring it back before Friday, May 11.

Wellington Curtain Bank then makes the curtains to fit your windows, lining for extra warmth, and drops them back to the Whānau Centre for you to take home and hang. Curtains can keep heat in, cold out and power bills down – a great way to get ready for winter. For more info head to the Whānau Centre at 16 Bedford Court, Cannons Creek or call Wellington Curtain Bank on freephone 0508 78 78 24. Contact us today!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th

Jeanette from Tawa

I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
