We are back at the Round Chapel for our wonderful Meet, Give & Take event! 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! Our meet up coincides with the Round Chapel Old School Rooms Wednesday Playgroup which is a lovely group for under 5s so why not check it out.
Like a lovely jumble sale of preloved reusable nappies, baby clothes and textiles and maternity clothes, but everything is completely FREE! Feel free to bring any unwanted CLEAN nappies or baby clothes in GOOD condition, to pass onto other local parents. **PLEASE BRING SEASONAL CLOTHING ONLY! (i.e. no Christmas outfits in summer please!)**
There is absolutely NO need to bring something in order to take. Invite your pregnant friends to come and find free maternity wear and baby clothes, even if they’re not interested in reusable nappies! All very welcome.
If you have nappies or clothing to donate, please try to bring them nearer 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 nappy donations in advance too.
We will also be joined by some of the Hackney Council recycling team who can issue you with your FREE £70 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 on hand for sling fit checks only. Contact Mel in advance directly if there is a specific sling you’d like to hire on the day.
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
Volunteers are always needed at these events as they can get busy! If you can come along and give us a hand, we are always so happy to hear from you. No commitment or experience necessary, just get in touch!

For this one off event, kicking off Real Nappy Week, we will be at the Hackney Clothes Swap event run by Loanhood at Hackney Bridge, with a slightly smaller scale meet, give and take event. Come and collect some free nappies and/or baby clothes, and bring any items you no longer need (donating is totally optional!)
We will also be available to answer any trouble shooting questions or give a demo if you are new to reusables.
It is quite rare for us to do a weekend event so please spread the word and tell your friends to come along!
Join Real Nappies for London and Hackney Nappy Network for a Reusable Nappy Week Meet Up on Wednesday 26th April 2023. This is a social event for anyone who loves reusable nappies or is just interested in finding out more. ALL WELCOME!
We will be in the midst of celebrating Reusable Nappy Week (24th – 30th April 2023) so we would love to bring people together and provide any advice about reusable nappies for new parents who’d like to know more. All are welcome from any borough in London. The meet up is informal and baby-friendly, so bring your little ones if you would like to. Parents who already use reusable nappies can share their experiences and learn more about volunteering to promote reusable nappies in their local area.
If the weather is good, we will meet in Haggerston Park and will supply picnic blankets and light refreshments. If the weather is not on our side, we will meet in the cafe at Hackney City Farm. We will let registrants know in advance where the exact location will be on the day.
If you are eligible for our free reusable nappy voucher and would like to apply, you can do so at the event.
Please RSVP by registering via eventbrite to let us know you’re coming. Need further information? Send an email to: info@realnappiesforlondon.org.uk or info@hackneyrealnappy.net
