Celebrate! Real Nappy Week's 10th anniversary 24 - 30 April 2006

The growth of a global phenomenon will be celebrated during the 10th annual Real Nappy Week from 24-30 April 2006. In just ten years the Week has become a firm fixture on the calendar and grown into an international event with hundreds of activities across the UK, Ireland and as far afield as New Zealand and Mexico.

Support has increased year on year and Real Nappy Week 2005 attracted record support with the backing of over 80% of UK local authorities and almost 500 events in 65 counties. An even bigger splash is promised for 2006 with special 10th anniversary events being planned throughout the country and around the world.

Co-ordinated by Women's Environmental Network and the Real Nappy Campaign and sponsored by WRAP, Real Nappy Week is the annual focus of the nappy waste prevention campaign.

The Week brings together local authorities, local groups, members of the NHS and individuals in a national campaign to promote practical alternatives to wasteful products - cloth nappies.
