"They have changed her life"
- Mrs J Powis
5/5 from 505 reviews
Jelly Drops are award-winning sweets designed to boost hydration. They’re 95% water, sugar free & vegan with added electrolytes & vitamins.
Inventor Lewis Hornby was inspired to create water sweets after his grandma Pat, who had dementia, was struggling to hydrate.
With a fantastic solid, but smooth, texture - these sweets do not have a liquid centre - encouraging independent hydration for all, through a delicious snack.

Tackling a major dementia struggle

Improving quality of life
Our innovative solution makes boosting water intake easy & enjoyable. Saving carers’ time & giving people with dementia an irresistible treat.
Helping many others
Jelly Drops are not just for dementia, being well-loved by a wide range of people who struggle with hydration or just want a healthy snack.
When Pat, our founder Lewis’s grandma, was rushed to hospital with severe dehydration, he was told to prepare for the worst. Pat, who had dementia, thankfully made a full recovery, but Lewis was left wondering how something so small could have a potentially life-threatening impact.
Lewis spent a month in his grandmother’s care home to try and find a solution. Consulting with doctors and speech and language therapists, he spent 18 months testing and developing the product you see today.
Since launching we’ve received over 15 awards, made over 10 million drops and heard hundreds of stories from our amazing community about how Jelly Drops have changed people’s lives.
Grandma Pat's story has touched millions around the world, including being featured on the BBC, Sky News and the Ted X stage.
We were pleased to be able to help even more people who struggle with hydration, by first bringing Jelly Drops to the USA, and then to Canada in 2023.
We were delighted to be selected for the prestigious Alzheimer’s Society Accelerator Programme for dementia innovation, allowing us to learn from people affected by dementia, to ensure that Jelly Drops are the most effective that they can be.
We are now proud to be able to give back to the Alzheimer’s Society’s important work, with 1% of profits from every box sold going directly to them.

Jelly Drops have many properties that are perfect for those looking for a healthy snack. Not only do they contain 95% water with added electrolytes and vitamins, helping to boost fluid intake, but they are also sugar-free, contain no artificial colours and are vegan. A delicious snack, many of our customers find them a perfect sugar-free alternative to traditional sweets.
Even though they are made of 95% water, Jelly Drops don’t ‘burst’ or have a liquid centre as you may expect. We’ve specifically made them with a solid texture, but one that is still super easy to chew, unlike other sweets such as jelly beans or wine gums. Many people describe them as being a similar texture to traditional trifle jelly.
Currently, we only recommend Jelly Drops to people without swallowing difficulties. If you have swallowing difficulties, please consult a Speech and Language Therapist prior to use.
Jelly Drops are made of 95% water, meaning that each 6x pack contains 300ml water. Many people find this the perfect way to increase fluid intake throughout the day, without relying on drinks alone.
We work with a range of businesses in the care and health sectors, from carers and care homes to hospitals. If you are interested in placing a discounted bulk order, helping to promote Jelly Drops to your clients or otherwise partner with us - please check out our business portal.

Jelly Drops are made of 95% water, providing a boost in fluid intake for those with dementia who struggle with hydration.
They come in a range of bright, eye-catching colours and are presented in a uniquely designed transparent container, which help the sweets attract attention from people with dementia, who may otherwise forget about them.
Both the innovative packaging and the shape of the sweets themselves, allow them to be easily accessible, even for those who are less dexterous.
This helps encourage an enjoyable habit of healthy snacking, which many find to be easy and enjoyable.
As a delicious sweet however, they do not just have to be eaten by those with dementia, but can be enjoyed by all!
