The Cloth Nappy Incentive Scheme is a pilot project to support the use of reusable nappies among families who could not otherwise have considered trying them owing to the upfront costs in buying the nappies! A limited number of families will be provided with a voucher number to be used to buy a cloth nappy starter kit worth €100 from one of our partner retailers. The voucher can be used to purchase the Cloth Nappy Starter Kit provided by each supplier.
This pilot scheme will run for a limited time and only until the limited vouchers have been distributed. Participation in the pilot will be subject to follow up interviews on your experiences using the nappies.
The pilot is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency, Fingal County Council, Dublin City Council, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, Limerick City and County Council and Kerry County Council and managed by VOICE.
To be eligible for the scheme you must:
Applying is simple! If you meet the basic eligibility in terms of locality and your baby's age, and require the financial support of the scheme to try cloth nappies, just fill out the application form below and we will email you with your voucher number.
