There are many ways you can get involved in the Real Nappy Week 2008

Plan your own activities/displays/launches etc. These can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. 'Nappuccino' sessions are fun and easy to plan and were popular in 2007; and the more ambitious nappy roadshows and fashion shows brought nappy displays and styles to many communities. To assist you we have provided details of how to go about running various events. Just click on the links below to access a word document to download.

Team up with other interested individuals and organisations in your area; publicise real nappy businesses and local nappy networks. Launch a permanent display, a new partnership or promotional scheme, or organise a fun attention-grabbing publicity stunt.

Many hospitals have displays during Real Nappy Week and publicise them locally. Mums giving birth during the Week can be given real nappy trial kits or win a month's free use of a nappy service. This is the ideal time to launch an on-ward real nappy policy, introduce real nappy demonstrations into antenatal classes or include information in booking-in forms. Parents will greatly appreciate the opportunity to make an informed choice.
