Alice from Real Nappies for London joins us today to kick off Season 2 AND Reusable Nappy Week 2021! Reusable Nappy Week is an international action packed week of awareness raising activities and advocacy for all things reusable nappies. Some #RNW fast facts for you: The first Real Nappy Week was formed in 1997 (21st - 27th April) as a joint collab between Women's Environmental Network (Wen) and the Real Nappy Association (The RNA had merged with the National Association of Nappy Services, who had previously run something along the lines of a 'Cloth Nappy Week' prior to 1997.) From 2020, Real Nappy Week has been renamed Reusable Nappy Week and is coordinated by a RNW Steering Commitee comprised of representative across the UK reusable nappy industry. ------ Find out more about Reusable Nappy Week here: reusablenappyweek.org.uk And check out Real Nappies for London here: realnappiesforlondon.org.uk Follow us on Instagram & send us your cloth nappy questions: @tickle.tots & don't forget to take part in Reusable Nappy Week share your story with the hashtags #ReusableNappyWeek and #ChangeStartsHere Thanks for listening! x
