Nappies Latest

WEN ran the Real Nappies for London stand at the Baby Show, Excel, London Docklands, 29 February - 2 March. We must have had one of the busiest, if smallest, stands at the show! Thanks to all our volunteers for their invaluable help.

If you are in London, you may wish to encourage your local authority to join Real Nappies for London as we are currently signing them up for year 2 after a successful first year. We have managed to reduce local authority costs. Check out the RNfL website.

The long-overdue Environment Agency Life Cycle Assessment update should be out at the end of February.

WEN is running three nappy projects at the moment. Sadly, we currently have no funding for generic real nappy campaigning, so please bear with us if you are making general enquiries -we still do endeavour to respond to all of them.

Please note WEN will not be running Real Nappy Week 2008. All enquiries about the Week should be directed to the Real Nappy Campaign at www.realnappycampaign.com or 0845 850 0606.
