Reusable nappies, also known as cloth nappies or washable nappies, are an alternative to disposable nappies made from absorbent material that can be washed and reused. They can be made from a variety of materials, including natural fibers, human-made materials, or a combination of both.
If you live in Torfaen and have qualifying children you can apply for a £30 voucher towards a purchase of reusable nappies.
The voucher is for £30 per qualifying household per qualifying child.
