Registered Charity No: 270288 (England & Wales), SCO48198 (Scotland).

Kidney Care UK is the UK’s leading kidney patient support charity, which for nearly 50 years has been working to improve the quality of life for children and adults living with kidney disease. We know that the impact of kidney disease can be shocking and overwhelming. Kidney Care UK is here to provide hope and care to patients and their families through expert advice, as well as practical, emotional and financial assistance when it is needed most.

We promise to provide the very best support to kidney patients and their families, whilst also campaigning to improve care services for everyone affected by kidney disease. Around a third of our work relies on gifts in Wills. A gift in your Will to Kidney Care UK helps to ensure no-one has to face the lifelong condition of kidney disease alone - today or in the future.

How we help:

  • Providing grants to help patients in times of financial hardship
  • Funding kidney units to improve services and patient care
  • Providing information, peer support and advocacy services
  • Providing counselling and emotional support
  • Commissioning research to improve health and care services
  • Campaigning to inform policy that improves the lives and choices of kidney patients

Kidney Care UK receives no government funding. Only with your help can we make sure that these vital support services are available for years to come.
