02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
NappiRunz delivers nappies to families who need them. We’ve been up and running since 2016, and have been a registered charity since 2017. Our model is simple. We collect clean, unused nappies in our NappiRunz branded bins, from community hubs like libraries, cafés and supermarkets. We then deliver them to partner charities and organisations such as food banks, women’s shelters and refugee centres, for onward distribution to families. From the start NappiRunz has always been - and will always be - an organic part of our local communities. So, it’s vital to us that our team of passionate volunteers lives in and understands the areas we serve. We also know the importance of working closely with our partners, whether that’s Crisis, NHS Health Visitors, or any of the incredible smaller charities we deliver to. And this approach is working. NappiRunz has recently been honoured with a King’s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award given to local volunteering groups in the UK. Nap
