Got mould on your curtains, or simply don't have any? Flimsy curtain with no lining layer to trap the heat? The Dunedin Curtain Bank might be able to help!

Adding a curtain to a glass door in a key room can make an enormous difference. Come and have a chat about free and affordable options they can help you with.

Interested in being part of a new pilot for an Ōtepoti Local Food Co‑op, a community‑driven way to build reliable, values‑aligned demand for local producers? Our friends at Our Food Network are calling for interested parties for their pilot... register your interest below...

We’re exploring the creation of an Ōtepoti Local Food Co‑op, a community‑driven way to build reliable, values‑aligned demand for local producers. By starting with a committed group of households, the co‑op would create a steady weekly market for locally grown and made food, giving producers the confidence to grow, invest, and thrive. This kind of dependable demand strengthens our region’s food resilience by keeping value in the community and shortening supply chains. Over time, it creates the conditions for more growers, more diversity, and a stronger local food economy.

If you’re interested in learning more or being part of the pilot, please fill out this short form:
🔗 https://forms.gle/1akweYwj2ZbKG3mFA

We’re also keen to connect with as many local producers as possible so please pass on any ideas to [email protected]. Producers can be fruit and veggies, nuts, eggs, dairy (milk and cheese), poultry, seafood, meat and baked goods, and confectionery. Our intention is to offer six months of pre‑agreed income with four months’ notice of any changes giving producers real stability. Ideally, the only changes will be growth, as we plan to add more households once we’ve worked through any teething issues during the pilot phase.
