The Highland Real Nappy Project started in November 2001, and has built up a network of dedicated and experienced volunteers who promote the benefits of real nappy use across the Highland Council area.

We provide...

• friendly, independent advice from people who have found real nappies a great choice for their children.
• trial packs for you to borrow and try at home and bargain Real Nappy Starter Packs to purchase
• New Born Nappy Hire Kits - lots of tiny nappies available for the first few weeks so you can start saving money straight away
• a wide range of nappies for you to see and feel before ordering
• volunteers available for demonstrations, whether to a group of parents or a meeting of health professionals
• details of local suppliers - also the option of buying your nappies online from HRNP to support this local, not for profit organisation
• a wealth of other information and support
• events and volunteering opportunities throughout highland

The Project is a not-for-profit voluntary association, run by a Management Committee of volunteers.

HRNP was funded by the INCREASE III Waste Prevention programme from August 2008 to March 2011 to reduce household waste by converting families in Highland to real nappies. From April 2011 to March 2012, HRNP will deliver the Baby Footprints project, funded by the Climate Challenge Fund, which will help Highland families reduce their carbon footprint through real nappies and other carbon saving measures.
