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. We believe this could be as many as 3 million people in Great Britain.
