Nappies - Free
Provided by The Nappy Collective
The Nappy Collective collects donations of new and leftover nappies - ones that little ones have grown out of or no longer need - and pass them onto our Community Partners that support families.
“We started as a group of mums who found a handful of nappies that our toddlers did not fit into anymore. After considering the options of what to do with only six nappies – pass them onto a friend? Keep them for the next child? Throw them out - what a waste! - we began to wonder if there were other parents out there that also had a handful or even half a box of nappies they were unable to use. What if we were able to collect all these left over nappies and distribute them to families in crisis or in need? Collectively these handfuls of nappies could make a big difference.
Through our research, we have learned that 1 in 10 families, or 280,000 children, don’t have enough nappies - a situation we have named “nappy stress”. Nappy stress can impact families facing financial hardship, experiencing or at risk of homelessness, escaping domestic violence, seeking asylum or those impacted by natural disasters. “

“The Nappy Collective’s provision of nappies has become integral to the support we are able to provide women with babies escaping domestic violence. It is one support need that can be addressed efficiently and with dignity.” - COMMUNITY PARTNER
Helping to keep little ones clean, happy and healthy.
We are a community based, not for profit run mostly by volunteers. We receive nappy donations from the general public, which are dropped off to our registered Collection Points in locations all over Australia. We then arrange for these donated nappies to be passed onto our registered Community Partners - service providers working with women and families - to be distributed to their clients.
