"Thousands Have Lived Without Love, Not One Without Water"

Water for Work and Home, an innovative wellbeing organisation, is providing the essential water to keep the "living monuments" hydrated whilst on the Fourth Plinth. "This is an important, global art installation", confirmed Ben McGannan, Managing Director, Water for Work and Home. "It is vital that participants are properly hydrated so we will be providing water both before they climb onto the plinth and when they come off. Our understanding of the "individual in contemporary society" is what this project is all about - Water for Work and Home understand better than most how important this is. In addition, we are hoping to conduct health checks to give all participants an insight into their own wellbeing and to produce a unique "snapshot" of the health of the nation which will further enhance the project."
