🎉 Nutrition and Hydration Week is turning 15! 🎉
And what better way to celebrate than with one of Britain’s greatest institutions… the humble scone! 🫖🧁
I’m delighted to announce the launch of our Nutrition and Hydration Week 15th Birthday Scone Competition — and we’re inviting health and social care teams across the UK and around the world to get creative.
This is much more than a competition. It’s about celebrating the skill, creativity and innovation of the amazing people working in food and nutrition across health and social care, while creating ideas that could leave a lasting legacy and inspire good practice.
There are two classes:
🥇 Class One – Scones
Sweet and/or savoury recipes — regional and international variations are very welcome!
🌱 Class Two – Allergen-Free Scones
Sweet and/or savoury, vegan recipes meeting all 14 recognised allergens as defined by the Food Standards Agency.
And, of course, there will be judging on:
✔️ Meeting the class requirements
✔️ Costed recipes
✔️ Innovation and presentation
✔️ And perhaps most importantly… having fun!
📅 Closing date: Wednesday 18 November 2026
📧 Send your recipe and photographs to nhweek@yahoo.co.uk
Nutrition and Hydration Week runs from 15–21 March, with Wednesday 17 March once again putting Afternoon Tea firmly in the spotlight around the world.
For 15 years, Nutrition and Hydration Week has been about highlighting, promoting and celebrating improvements in nutrition and hydration across health and social care — locally, nationally and globally.
So, get your teams together, dust off those recipes, fire up the ovens and let’s see what you can create!
🌍Let’s make our 15th birthday one to remember.
REMEMBER THE MAIN RULE: HAVE FUN – ENJOY – BE CREATIVE!
Thank you to our special sponsors Jelly Drops Focus on Undernutrition

On National Healthcare Estates and Facilities Day, we celebrate the vital contribution of approximately 3,000 E&F colleagues across MFT. Much of what they do happens behind the scenes, but it has a direct impact on the experience of our patients & colleagues every single day

People come to our services for support for lots of reasons.
Some have been wrenched from their home, separated from their families & in desperate need of not just a safe, secure place to live, but also of compassion & understanding: caritassalford.org.uk/refuge…

Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace
