We have been invited to hold our wonderful Meet, Give & Take event at Stoke Newington Library this September! The chance to meet and hang out with other local parents and babies who use reusable nappies, as well as helping to reduce waste and save money by reusing nappies and clothing rather than buying new – everybody wins!
Like a lovely jumble sale of preloved reusable nappy goodies and baby and maternity clothes, only everything is completely FREE! Feel free to bring any unwanted CLEAN nappies or baby clothes in GOOD condition, to pass onto other local parents. There is absolutely NO obligation to bring something in order to take. If you have nappies to donate, please try to being them at the beginning of the event so that they have a better chance of finding a new home on the day. We are always available to receive donations in advance too.
We will also be joined by some of the Hackney Council recycling team who can issue you with your FREE £54 reusable nappy voucher via Real Nappies for London (ID and proof of address & birth/matB1 required).
Mel from Wrap a Hug Sling Library will be present to give sling advice and demos and hires. Book in advance directly with Mel if you would like a 1-2-1 session or to arrange a hire.
We have also set up a facebook group to facilitate the buying/selling/sharing of preloved nappies locally HERE.
If you would like to donate nappies for this event but cannot make it on the day please contact us: info@hackneyrealnappy.net
