Nutrition and Hydration Week 2025

Nutrition and Hydration Week
17 – 23 March 2025


These are challenging times for health and social care BUT Nutrition and Hydration Week provides an opportunity to highlight the excellent work taking place through the delivery of quality food and drink for the people these services care for. 

This is the annual platform to share and highlight information and initiatives, through sharing initiatives and projects, it allows others to learn and develop their own tailored information, plus for those sharing it is the chance to see other projects and ideas and further enhance theirs.
 
The initiatives that are shared also provide a weekly focus throughout the year on the Nutrition and Hydration Week social media platforms on X and Facebook, as a Tip of the Week or during the Thirsty Thursday campaign which runs from the end of May until early July. Throughout October we share a daily tip to embed Mealtimes Matter including how to embed Protected Mealtimes.
 
During the week, a host of activities will take place in the form of information stands; launch of new food and drink initiatives; daily themed food days; poster displays; themed drinks trollies; and for a lot of the week’s supporters the main event is the Global Afternoon Tea on the Wednesday 19th. The Global Afternoon Tea is an invitation for health and social care professionals around the world to join in and celebrate with that most British event an Afternoon Tea.
 
Still looking for ideas and inspiration, then visit the website - nutritionandhydrationweek.co.uk; and remember to follow Nutrition and Hydration on social media - X (Twitter) and Facebook.
 
The week has expanded beyond its health and social care roots and is now used for staff wellbeing in a myriad of organisations who see the benefit for their staff teams in access to fluids in particular during working hours. This is particularly pertinent for those organisations who workers work shifts, or remotely with limited access to food and drink during their working hours.
 
Since its inception, the ‘Week’ has become the primary focus for food and drink providers in social care to highlight their practices and this year, as always, we look forward to this continuing. It is amazing the work people do to enhance the nutrition and hydration provision for those they care for.
