Story

We know that the last few months have been tough for everyone, and the future may seem uncertain, especially for those living with kidney disease. Kidney Research UK have lost over 50% income after all events were cancelled, but we won't let that stop us! We need your support now more than ever, to fund and reignite life-saving research!

How to get involved - there are 4 ways to Step into Christmas this year!

1. Grab your Santa hat, lace up your trainers with tinsel and WALK, RUN, HOP or DANCE 12,000 steps a day for 12 days in December. All we ask is that you try and raise £120 for Kidney Research UK while stepping out in your favourite festive gear.

2. Host our Christmas quiz, whether virtually or in person, invite all of your colleagues, friends or family and ask them to donate to take part!

3. Wear your Christmas Jumper with pride , even if it's so bad you want to hide. Do it with friends by your side and on social media share far and wide! It doesn't matter where you are, whether your working from home, in the office or at school, just dig out your best festive sweater on Friday 11 December 2020 and donate £5 to us.

4. Is your office party cancelled or secret Santa a mess? Why not turn 2020 into a huge festive success. Forget about a new mug or a funny pair of socks, the office can party online with a large Gin on the rocks! Has your office party been changed or cancelled this year? Why not turn it into a festive fundraiser within your current government guidelines and donate a % of the cost of the night to us!
