Free Real Nappies in West Sussex

http://www.westsussex.gov.uk/ccm/content/environment/rubbish-waste-and-recycling/waste-prevention/08-real-nappy-initiative.en?page=2

This is the address for this scheme.

The FREE Home Washing Nappy Starter Pack is worth £100 and contains about half the nappies you would need for full time use.
The Home Washing Nappy Starter Pack contains:
• 5 shaped cotton nappies (small)
• 5 shaped cotton nappies (one size)
• 2 nappy covers/wraps (one small and one medium)
• 2 snap in liners
• 3 rolls of biodegradable nappy liners
• Wet nappy bag
• Information Guide on fitting and washing the nappies
The Home Washing Nappy Starter Pack is suitable for babies from 6lbs up to about 20lb (9kg), although the one size nappy can be used until the baby is 35lb (16kg). The offer is limited to West Sussex residents only. New parents are entitled to one Home Washing Starter Pack per baby aged 0 to 4 months (subject to availability).

I saw this on a leaflet in the library this morning. I immediately thought of OS mummies and babies. I hope that it will be useful.

    Edit: Gonna contact my local council and see if they got a scheme going, worth a try :)
