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. 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.

• Real Nappies for London This is a scheme to support London parents and carers in trying real nappies. Currently in 13 boroughs, this includes a helpline 020 7324 4709, website www.realnappiesforlondon.org.uk, an information pack and a free voucher that be exchanged for nappies with over 40 registered suppliers and laundries across the capital.

• Real Nappy Toolkit WEN’s Real Nappy Toolkit for health professionals in London has proved so successful that, with support from Wrap’s Real Nappy Campaign, we are now able to offer it to midwives across England and Wales for parent education. Contact us or click here for information if you are a health professonal or here if you are a local authority waste officer keen to see improved parent choices in your area.

• Real Nappy Exchange This is a nationwide free brokering service to enable people to sell, donate and buy nappies they no longer need. Really best nappy practice! Available through the Real Nappies for London website as well as here.
