Hackney Nappy Network
We are a friendly informal network of parents and carers who use and promote reusable nappies. Our aim is to help parents and carers to see how simple it is to get started using reusable nappies, and how it can save money and waste. We run regular free events and demos around Hackney to help parents make a more informed nappy choice and to publicise the free £70 nappy voucher scheme. Would you like a demo at a local parenting class or an information stall at an event? Or if you are already using reusable nappies then contact us to volunteer and help spread the reusable nappy love!
Reusable Nappy Demonstration and Sling Checks
Join our free monthly nappy information sessions—babies welcome! Hackney residents can claim a £70 reusable nappy voucher on the day.
Reusable Nappy Meet and Give & Take
Join our friendly meet-ups to swap or take preloved nappies and baby clothes for free. Get advice, connect with parents, and claim your £70 voucher.
Real Nappies for London Voucher Scheme
If you are a Hackney resident and are pregnant or have a child under 18 months you are eligible for a completely FREE voucher worth £70 to spend on reusable nappies. It is really quick and easy to apply, and can be a real help in getting started on your reusable nappy journey. The voucher can also be spent on a nappy laundry service, such as Hackney’s own local service run by Nappy Ever After.
Attending one of our nappy information sessions is a great way to find out all you need to know without the overwhelm of looking online, where there can be a lot of jargon and conflicting information. Everyone is welcome at our events, no matter what stage you are at.
What Hackney Parents Say
Tunde, Seng & Jonatán
“We like using real nappies as we try to be conscious about the environment and we think Jonatán looks great in the different designs too! We have enough prefolds to last a few days and four outer wraps (that we rinse after every use) so we have a very cost efficient system.”
Iva & Oliver
“I can’t resist using reusable nappies because they are fun & colourful. Also, they help with potty training and they don’t sit in landfill for hundreds of years!”
Edouard & Nathan
“We’ve been using real nappies with Nathan since the day we brought him home from the hospital. I’d heard all about the financial and environmental benefits of using them already and the money-off voucher from the council really helped us to get started.”
