The National Kidney Federation (NKF), established in 1978, is run by kidney patients to support kidney patients and their families across the UK with two main roles - patient support and campaigning.

The NKF provides the only National Helpline dedicated solely to renal patients, their families and carers, by providing a free-to-call service on 0800 169 0936. The NKF is the UK's largest producer and distributor of kidney-related medical information leaflets with a library of over 200 titles written in simple language for patients.

By making a financial contribution to our appeal you know that your donation is helping the charity to continue providing its vital service to kidney patients and their families across the UK and campaign for better treatment and facilities.

2023 has been a very busy year for the NKF, and as we move into 2024 we continue to develop a high quality support for kidney patients and their families across the UK.
