Veolia Southwark will be hosting free real nappy demonstrations at local library baby and toddler sessions (see listing below). The team will be on hand to answer questions about using real nappies and how to apply for the free trial pack (worth ?50).


By using just one real nappy a day, in place of a disposable one, would prevent 730 nappies from being sent for energy recovery. Using cloth nappies instead of disposables not only helps to save the environment but helps to save families money too. Parents can save approximately ?500 per baby and if nappies are used for more than one child, the cost savings add up considerably.


In the UK, 8 million disposable nappies are thrown away, every day. The plastic in disposable nappies can take up to 500 years to break down. Join other parents across Southwark and help to reduce the number of nappies that are thrown away by making the switch to reusable nappies.


Real Nappy week 23-27 April

Libraries:

Camberwell at 10.30am

John Harvard at 11.15am

Dulwich at 10.30am

Canada Water at 11.00am

Peckham at 10.45am

Hi Alik212


Apologies for the confusion. The dates were listed in week order i.e.Camberwell on Monday, John Harvard on Tuesday etc.


I hope that you were able to attend one of the events. If you missed the demonstrations, we would be happy to send you some follow up information and answer any questions you might have about real nappies.


Please send us a private message should you wish to be contacted directly.


Kind regards

    • Hi there, We are currently having issues with our current nursery in ED, and are looking for an excellent childminder or nanny locally. We live on Melbourne Grove so can walk within a 5-10 min radius. Ideally to start in January 2026 please. We have a 14 month old girl. Any recommendation for other childcare providers would be appreciated too! Thanks a lot, Jojo

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
