Our aim is to prevent dehydration in the elderly and those less mobile by donating a specially designed hands-free drinking system called The Hydrant. Anyone with limited mobility particularly those who struggle to reach, hold or lift a drink is likely to benefit from a Hydrant. We believe this could be as many as 3 million people in Great Britain. Hydrants are successfully being used in hospitals, care homes and in the community all around the UK. But there are many more individuals particularly out in the community whose lives could be transformed by having independent access to fluids. It will help people with neurological conditions such as MS, Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson’s, stroke sufferers also cancer patients and those in palliative care and many other types of conditions. We want to donate free Hydrant systems to relevant health charities, patients and user groups to reach those individuals who stand to benefit the most.
