Just Small Change is a microfinance charity that Coinadrink has been supporting for a while. Peter and Jane Donaghue are friends of ours and we are delighted to help make a difference in some of the poorest parts of the world. We were delighted to receive an update from Peter and Jane last week regarding the organisations’ progress, including the introduction of “table banking” alongside their current scheme.
We all know the importance of hydration, but there’s more to it than just drinking the appropriate amount. The quality of the water that you’re drinking is arguably just as important, and this is where the tap in your kitchen significantly lets you down. While it may be the most convenient way to keep hydrated, research and tests have shown that tap water contains up to 2100 different substances that you really don’t want to be consuming. This summer, relieve your staff from such an archaic form of refreshment, and install a water cooler in your workplace.

Staying hydrated isn’t a case of simply relieving your thirst. It’s about staying fit, staying healthy and staying productive, and consuming the appropriate level of fluids will work wonders for your overall wellbeing. Too many people are mistaking poor health as an illness, when it could simply be a case of even slight dehydration. You only need to lose just 1% of your water intake to fall into the depths of dehydration, and symptoms of so are unpleasant to say the least. They also merge with those you get from feeling ill, so this leads to some confusion as to the cause of your problems.

It’s certainly been a harsh winter, but the arrival of April has welcomed better conditions. Sun, blue skies and milder temperatures provide a welcome relief from what has been a bitterly cold few months, and gives us a taste of the summer season that we’re all desperately craving. So your staff can enjoy the hotter months, make sure you’re prepared. A sweltering office is no good for anyone, and the depths of dehydration can quickly set in. Help them work to their maximum potential and install a water cooler today.

It’s been one of the worst winters in recent memory. Many mornings have begun with extremely cold starts, and we’ve often had to make the journey into work through snow, ice, wind and rain. It’s only natural, then, to crave a hot drink when we finally do get into the office. Very little else can motivate you in the same way a hot drink can, but as the colder weather looks set to continue for a little while longer, we’re asking you not to forget your water cooler either. Many people disregard the topic of hydration all too easily in the winter, and this is dangerous.

In the wake of the ‘Latte Levy’ proposition hitting our news, there has now been a plan to reduce the number of plastic bottles that get wasted every year. The figures regarding plastic waste make for concerning reading, and industry body Water UK is proposing a new scheme to offer free water refill points in every major city and town in England by 2021. An article from BBC explains…
Rather understandably, hot drinks are extremely popular in the winter. Whilst many of us need our tea or coffee to get us up and running in the morning, the cold, January climes mean our hot drinks machines are working overtime throughout the entire working day rather than just the start. This is all well and good: we’re certainly not one to criticise the consumption of hot drinks in the slightest. However, while the hot drinks machine can’t attract enough visitors, your water cooler nearby is struggling for attention, and this isn’t good. Your health is at risk.

Hydration is rightfully a hot topic in the summer. For all the beauty of a warmer climate and the lighter mornings and evenings, it’s easy for a black cloud to appear if you don’t consume enough fluids, even if you’re not doing any strenuous activity. We covered many reasons as to why you must keep yourself hydrated in the workplace, ranging from the relief of headaches to muscle efficiency, but don’t think for one moment that you need to brush off the topic now that the winter weather is arriving. Make no mistake, keeping yourself hydrated is vital all year round…

National Refreshment Day annually falls on the fourth Thursday every July, and is all about celebrating the refreshments available during the hottest month of the year. There is nothing better than a nice cool drink on a glorious summers’ day, and the refreshing sensation is especially moreish in the workplace. When the stuffy conditions of the office leave us feeling drained, you’re at greater risk than you think, and a cold beverage is what you need just as much as you want. Coinadrink understand that, and have done for over 55 years.
