Every March since 2012
About Nutrition & Hydration Week
Our story
Food and drink matter to health and wellbeing
Nutrition and Hydration Week has taken place every March since 2012. Its purpose is to bring people together to create energy, focus and fun, to highlight and educate people on the value of food and drink in maintaining health and wellbeing in health and social care.
Organisations from around the world and from all areas of health and social care take part, and new organisations are always welcome to join in the fun.
The highlight of the week
The Global Tea Party
The Global Tea Party takes place on the Wednesday of Nutrition & Hydration Week. We invite our whole community to hold a tea party wherever they are, and share the fun on social media.
The team
The Nutrition & Hydration Week team
Nutrition and Hydration Week was initially run by a small team of experts, Derek Johnson, Andy Jones and Caroline Lecko, who gave their time for free.
When Nutrition and Hydration Week finished in 2025, two of the three founders stepped back from overseeing the week. After 15 years, Caroline Lecko and Derek Johnson decided to step back as they were no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of health and social care, and felt the week needed people working in frontline operations to keep it current and moving forward.
Andy Jones continues to oversee the week and is joined by Charlotte Trumper. If you would like to help, please contact Andy or Charlotte at nhweek@yahoo.com, or send us a DM on social media.
