At first, it can be expensive to buy the reusable nappies and that puts some parents off. We may be able to help you with the initial investment.

You can get £30 off when you spend a minimum of £45 on reusable nappies or apply for a reusable nappy start up kit.

• apply for a £30 voucher before you buy the nappies
• claim £30 cash back after buying the nappies (you will need to have an itemised receipt), or
• apply for a reusable nappy start up kit.

BCP Council is working with local retailers to offer a discount start up kit to BCP Council residents. You can choose to receive one of 4 discount packs which would normally retail between £68 and £100. 

You can find out more of what start up kits are available.

To get your voucher, cashback or start up kit, you need to meet these criteria:

• your baby must be aged 18 months or under when you apply.
• you can only claim once for each baby
• for the voucher or cashback, you must spend at least £45 in one purchase on reusable nappies, reusable nappy products (liners, outer wraps, solutions, nappy bucket) or reusable nappy laundry services (not applicable for the start up kit)
• to prove you live in Bournemouth, Christchurch or Poole, we’ll ask you to send in a photocopy of your Council Tax Statement and a photocopy of your baby’s birth certificate or the MAT B1 form
• for cashback, you need to provide proof of purchase by sending in a photocopy of the itemised receipt within 6 months of purchase (not applicable for the voucher or start up kit).
• applications submitted for older children with an existing medical condition will be considered on a case by case basis.
