Nappy Incentives List.

[kirsten1985]

I didn't know if this had already been done, thought it might help people to have a list of the current incentives that each county council offers. If people write theirs down I will add them to this post.


Councils that offer an incentive:

DERBYSHIRE - £25 cheque, send off receipts adding up to at least £50.

KINGSTON & MERTON - £25 for a kit of nappies to try.

LANCASHIRE - £45 voucher to spend on nappies and nappy accessories with certain retailers. £70 voucher if you have two children in nappies and haven't claimed previously.

LEICESTERSHIRE - £30 cheque on proof of purchase, spend must be £30+.

LEWISHAM - £30 voucher to be spent on nappies and nappy accessories (Real Nappies for London campaign).

ETA, just found this, It is estimated that almost three billion nappies are thrown away each year in the UK. Most of these – 90% - go to landfill . There is an alternative. Real nappies. Not only are they a much more environmentally friendly option, they can also save parents hundreds of pounds.

Forth Environment Link have recently appointed Claire Jack as project officer to work on the Forth Valley Real Nappy Network project. She has a supply of sample nappy packs with the latest designs which you can borrow and try in the comfort of your own home before making a final decision on whether to go real.

Forth Environment Link are looking for volunteers to help with the project, giving advice to parents and promoting the use of real nappies. If you want to get involved, or have any queries about real nappies, contact [email protected] or call 01786 449215. More information

So you can borrow and try them, but i have a leaflet from them theres a charge if you dont buy them after. Theres no incentive with any sort of money back or anything tho!

 

[Babyshambelle]

Stockport - bugger all

 

[sezzlebum]

..... they can also save parents hundreds of pounds.

until you get an addiction to the weenotions site

Manchester- 1 months free trial to cotton tails

i used this service and while the service was great, communication was awful, it took over a month to get my deposit back, no one returned my calls and when i finally did get through to the office, i got a snotty response.

the delivery girl was really nice though, just the office i had issues with.

note the nappies you get are 60 terry squares for during the day and 8 night time ones plus 7 wraps per week

 

[Lilicat]

Anyone know of anything for Hampshire? I haven't been able to find anything.

 

[JayleighAnn]

Leicestershire - £30 cheque on proof of purchase, spend must be £30+

 

[Maffie]

Im in Manchester and only used the nappy service for 1 week, glad we got a trial as it made me realise I wouldn't use the service, the nappies were rough and way too big for Noah.

same here, i found them bulky too, like i couldnt sit aimee down properly but i thought the service itself is good if you havent got the time to wash your own i ended it after 2 weeks, didnt even use the second weeks supply as i'd already gone out and bought my tots bots
