Nappy Grants
Surrey Heath Borough Council supports the use of re-usable nappies and offers a small grant to those mothers who choose to use either re-usable nappies or the local nappy washing service. Please contact Gill White on 01276 707329 or gill.white@surreyheath.gov.uk. for more information.

It is worth considering that using re-usable nappies saves money as well as reducing the environmental impact of using disposable nappies.
