Company activities and impact

Sustainable Starts CIC works with families to support and inspire them toward a more sustainable family life. We do this through Liverpool Cloth Nappy Library, children's clothes swaps and a playgroup where families can explore sustainability with their children. Our Aims Are: To make sustainable living affordable and attainable for families To reduce costs to families through sustainable actions To create supportive, well-connected, resilient communities Between July 2023 and July 2024 we: Ran 36 playgroup sessions for families with toddlers Held 4 baby and children's clothes swaps and a Christmas Party Wear Swap event (complete with Santa and festive activities!) Attended 5 community events: Dream on Festival, Dovedale Summer Faire, Growing Sudley Open Day, Neurodiversity Festival, Liverpool Women's Hospital event. 5 antenatal events for expecting parents to explore reusable nappies Released 4 zines where families shared stories and experiences and discover local sustainable events and businesses Hired out party kits and reusable nappy kits to families wishing to reduce their waste and save money.

Consultation with stakeholders

We carry out consultation with our stakeholders at their point of engagement e.g upon return of a hire, or at playgroup, or at our clothes swaps. We also periodically ask for feedback a couple of times a year via our social media. As a result of consultation, we tried a different setting with our play group, and we are considering ways of making the clothes swaps accessible throughout the year, not just at set times. We also re-launched our Nappuccino sessions so families could come and see the nappy kits in person and ask questions.
