Apply for your nappy voucher in person

This is a new way to get your voucher and buy real nappies.  For the next few months (until at least 18 October) you can turn up at Nappy Ever After's shop between Euston and Kings Cross St Pancras stations and apply for a voucher in person.

Nappy Ever After's regular shop hours are Tue 2-6pm, but if you can't make this time give Joy a call on 020 7383 5115 and you can arrange appointments/extra sessions.

Take your documents with you - as specified on the Real Nappies for London 'Apply' page.  Please note you can also present photocopies with confidential details such as your passport number, bank details hidden.  We simply need to have enough proof to prevent fraudulent applications.
  1. proof of ID eg passport, driving license, NHS card
  2. proof of address eg utility bill or any official letter dated within last 2 months
  3. proof of pregnancy eg MatB1 form or prescription exemption card or birth eg birth certificate
Whichever borough you belong to, Bexley, Camden, Hackney, Haringey, Islington or Tower Hamlets, your voucher can be processed on the spot.  You can look at real nappies at the same time.  You can buy nappies at Nappy Ever After with your voucher or you can have your voucher emailed to you to spend elsewhere.

Please note that there are also real nappy events in Bexley, Hackney, Islington and Tower Hamlets where you can have your voucher issued on the spot.  Click on your borough for details.

If you live in Haringey My Creche has kindly agreed to scan your documents and email them to Real Nappies for London for you.

We'd like to hear your views on how to make it easier to get your real nappy voucher.  You can comment here or email nappies@lcrn.org.uk with your ideas and suggestions.

This is a trial until at least 2 July.  If successful it will be extended and we will fix up more opportunities to apply for your voucher in person in other locations.

  1. How can I get my Local authority / council involved in these schemes? My council is Wandsworth

  2. Thanks for your question. We'd love Wandsworth to join Real Nappies for London. I suggest that you write to your local councillor. You can do it easily with the email tool; Write to them. You could also turn up at your local councillor's surgery and show her/him what a modern real nappy looks like.
