Bristol and South Gloucestershire Incentive Schemes

There have been some changes with the local cloth nappy incentive schemes recently.

Both Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire Council have decided that funding is limited and they have to make changes. As a result they are no longer able to fund Resource Futures who have been running the scheme for offering talks, free loans, demonstrations and the range of free, impartial advice/support services which they have widely publicised. Obviously Friendly Baby is here to fill the gap for talks and demonstrations and free impartial advice and support.

South Gloucestershire Council have also decided that they can no longer afford to fund the voucher scheme, however issued vouchers will continue to be redeemed by South Gloucestershire Council for the next year. If you are one of the lucky owners of a now-rare South Gloucestershire Council Real Nappy Voucher for a £30 rebate when you spend £50 in one transaction on cloth nappies then don't delay and make your claim as soon as possible before funds are completely depleted.

The good news is that Bristol City Council are still continuing with their voucher scheme, so residents within the area of this council may still be issued with vouchers for £30 off a £50 spend. What an incentive to choose cloth!
