The North East Healthy Drinks Alliance

The North East Healthy Drinks Alliance is committed to working collaboratively to promote drink options for healthy people and a healthy planet.

The Alliance envisages “thriving communities with equal access to water and drinks for healthy people and a healthy planet”.

The Alliance’s current strategic directions are outlined in Tapping into Water 2019-2025.

The journey so far

In 2017, with support and leadership from North East Healthy Communities, eleven organisations across the region formed the North East Healthy Drinks Alliance, with the aim of addressing high consumption of sugary drinks and promoting water consumption.

Members of the Alliance signed up to the North East Healthy Drinks Charter and adopted the collective impact framework to guide and inform their work as a large, cross-sectoral, multi-organisation partnership.
