Summary of the purposes of

The charity's mission is to distribute as many free Hydrant hands
free drinking systems as possible to those individuals in the
community, care homes and hospitals who need them. Anyone
with limited mobility particularly those who struggle to reach, hold
or lift a drink is likely to benefit from a Hydrant.
The Hydration Foundation is committed to improving the health
and wellbeing of the most vulnerable people through donating
hands-free drinking systems {The Hydrants) to anyone that needs
one.
Summary of the main activities
in relation to those purposes

In line with guidance from the Charity Commission, the Trustees

significant charitable purpose through its work to enhance public
health and wellbeing via its focussed work on the distribution of
Hydrants to the eldedy and those less mobile. In 2023-24, we
continued to work with hospital patients and those in the
community helping prevent dehydration and its huge health risks.
Achievements and Performance
Summaryof
the main
achievements
of the charity,
identifying
the difference
the chariws
work has
made to the
circumstances
of its
beneficiaries
and anywider
benefits to
society as a
whole.
The accomplishments of The Hydration Foundation are readily apparent-we have
helped thousands of individua15 to maintain their independence and dignity by
enabling them to drink without needing assistance. While it may seem like a minor
task, this capability significantly impacts people's lives, as evidenced by numerous
testimonials from our beneficiaries.
Thanks to the support provided by The Hydrant, there has been a notable decrease
in hospital admissions related to dehydration, including issues like urinary tract
infection5. This not only improves individual well-being but also saves the NHS
potentially millions of pounds annually. Since our inception as a charity, we estimate
that we have prevented around 19,000 admissions, which translates to a savings of
approximately £IO.000 per avoided admission for the NHS, particularly within the
vulnerable groups we serve. However, our primary focus remains on helping these
at-risk individuals drink independently-something that would be impossible without
The Hydrant's assistance.

Beneficiaries- Below you can read the true difference we are making to people lives
by donating Hydrant drinking systems.
We was sent an email from South West Children's Hospice asking for the donation of
some hydrant bottles for their patients. We have received great feedback and the
staff and patients are finding them very useful.

A huge thank you to @hydration found for the generous donation of 10 free hydrant
bottles that we can give to our patients. This means so much to our team O

The Hydration Foundation recently supported The Wheelchair Sports festival in
Colchester and they sent this lovely photo:
Lots of our beneficiaries are wheelchair users, they can keep hydrated on the go with
the clever handle which clips to the back of the chair for ease of use.
Below is Katie with her bottle in use, Katie's had two titanium rods inserted to repair
scoliosis and ha5 quad cerebral palsy and you have no idea how many times we hear
"can I have a drink please" your product has changed our lives foreverl Thanks so
much David (Katie's Father}.

A few words from the Healthcare Specialists we work closely with to ensure those
who need a Hydrant can get one free of charge.
"I saw a lady today who has progressive M.5 and she is finding it really helpful as she
is alone between care call and She can manage to get the tube with the help of the
collar to her mouth herself. I hove a150 given them to a couple of Parkinson's clients
whofind it really hard due to tremor5 to control a cup to their mouth but this stops
them hoving to lift the cup"
"A gentlemon with Parkinson's disease wos not drinking enough, due to this he was
getting recurring infections. His tremor mode using a beaker difficult and he did not
have the strength to use a straw. Having the hydrant means that his carers can set
him up with a drink thot Is eosily occessible through the clip on straw. They are olso
able to monitor the amount offluids he has. Since having the hydrant he has
increased hisfluids, resolved his constipotion and reduced the number of urinary tract
infertions he has-
-At a Parkinson's review it came to my notice that a pcrtient was having difficulty
sucking through a strow. They admitted this was causing them to miss some
medications as they were unoble to get enough fluid in their mouth to swullow the
toblets with. They were looking dehydrated and were having episodes of
constipotion. I gave them a hydrant and this resulted in them increasing theirfluid
input, being able to have their medication on time which then in turn improved their
mobility and swallowl Constipation resolved and patient much hoppierf
A word from our Trustees
Another year has passed, and we're pleased to report that we are still here.
continuing to support many vulnerable individuals in our community. Over the past
few years, fundraising has become significantly more challenging, but we have
managed to persevere, thanks in part to the generous support of several donors over
the past year. The healthcare landscape has never been tougher, highlighting the
urgent need for prevention rather than just treatment. We take great pride in our
role in preventing hospital admissions related to dehydration.
Our service is invaluable, focusing on the individual while simultaneously supporting
the NHS during this period of significant strain. As detailed in other sections of our
report, we estimate that since our charity's inception, we have helped prevent
approximately 19,000 hospital admissions. With an estimated cost of around
£10,000 per admission-due to the frailty of the vulnerable groups we serve-this
equates to potential savings for the NHS of nearly £2tX) million, a remarkable
achievement.
Looking ahead, we anticipate that fundraising will continue to become even more
difficult, with demand for each available pound outpacing supply by at least 10-1.
Nevertheless, we remain hopeful that we will continue to receive the support
necessary to sustain what we believe is critical work.

Financial Review

the end of the period.
Reserves policy
The Trustees regularly consider the reserves held by the charity,
and regard a level of £20,000 in reserves as satisfactory. This
amount represents running costs and ongoing distribution of
projects. If at any point reserves fall below the target, the
Trustees have agreed to act immediately to ensure continuity of
work. At 31 March 2024. THF held a total of £20,000 in reserves.
£20,000 of this total are reserved funds, whilst £15,000 of this
total are unrestricted fund5. The free rese￿e5 enable us to
