Hydrate with 8 drinks a day

The borough’s month-long hydration campaign begins on 1 July. The aim is to raise awareness of how much water (or other types of drinks, excluding alcohol) we should drink a day and the subsequent benefits to our health. Over ten different locations across the borough will be visited by our community transport bus including Centres for the Community, sheltered housing schemes, and health centres. There will be leaflets, special Hydrate with 8 mugs and other great freebies to take away. In addition to the Hydrate with 8 campaign, there will also be a mini-falls assessment available to residents and information on how to reduce falls in the home. This will include borough services such as the care and repair and community alarm services.  All the advice can support older people to remain safe and independent in their own homes. If you have any enquiries about the hydration campaign please call Community Support Services on 01372 474537. How much water should we drink a day?  Visit your nearest pop up location at Walton Community Centre Manor Rd, Walton-on-Thames, KT12 2PB‎ on 14 July to find out.
