Environmental nappy group may have to fold
A NETWORK which helps parents save money and help the environment by using washable nappies may be forced to close.
The Nappuccino group meets once a month at The Well Cafe in Abbey Lane, Saffron Walden. It gives mums and dads information about different types of cloth nappy – with savings of up to £500 over a baby’s nappy years.
Local mums Sharon Heinrich and Hannah Henley run the network.
Sharon said: “With three young children each, plus work, study and family commitments, we are finding it difficult to continue and we would love to find some additional help.
“If anyone has used washable nappies on their children and would like to help spread the word about how good they can be then please let us know.”
Call Sharon on (01799) 530776 or email info@greenjellyshop.co.uk.
