Jelly Drops are designed to supplement normal fluid intake - ideal for anyone who forgets to drink, doesn't feel thirst, or just has a sweet tooth!
The idea behind Jelly Drops came when Lewis Hornby’s own grandmother Pat was admitted to hospital due to dehydration. Pat, who had dementia, spent 24 hours on IV fluids in hospital before thankfully making a full recovery. Lewis was left wondering how something so small could have a potentially life-threatening impact.
Lewis then spent a month in his grandmother’s care home, consulting with doctors, dementia specialists
and speech and language therapists before developing the sweet you can see today.
8% of profits goes to Alzheimer’s Society, supporting people with dementia and ultimately finding a cure.
