A SUSTAINABLE brand offering reusable nappies and wipes has teamed up with a council for a voucher scheme to help parents save money. 

Cheeky Wipes, of Newhaven, has announced its recent partnership with Lewes District Council for the scheme.

It is available to all parents with children under two or those expecting a baby and entitles them to redeem a voucher worth £50 towards the cost of Cheeky Wipes reusable nappies and wet wipes. 

To apply, parents can email customerfirst@lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk with the subject line “Cheeky Wipes Voucher”, their address details and then provide a MatB1 maternity certificate or birth certificate.

Vouchers can be put towards some of Cheeky Wipes’ washable wipes and sustainable nappy alternatives that have been tried and tested by thousands of parents.

The scheme could save people upwards of £500 in just two years, providing some relief in the cost of living crisis. 

In addition, it will also reduce nappy and wipes waste that can end up clogging sewers and waterways.

Cheeky Wipes Founder Helen Rankin said: “We’re very excited to announce our recent partnership with Lewes District. 

“Cheeky Wipes is all about finding sustainable and affordable swaps that make everyone’s lives that little bit easier. 

“We know that, with the cost of living crisis, things like nappies and baby wipes can cost a ridiculous amount of money and we hope that with this new scheme, we can help take a bit of pressure off parents around Lewes.”

Councillor Julie Carr, cabinet member for recycling, waste and open spaces, said the scheme also has huge environmental benefits.

She said: “Billions of wet wipes are thrown away in this country every year, creating unnecessary waste or flushed away to end up polluting our sewers, rivers and seas.

“Disposable nappies are also one of the biggest factors in plastic waste globally. 

“It is imperative we move from single-use to reusable alternatives, and I’m delighted this new scheme with our partner Cheeky Wipes allows local parents to make this switch – as well as saving money at the same time.”
