Our Impact

2021 IMPACT REPORT

We are delighted to release our second Impact Report for 2021. Our brand new report showcases all the hard work and achievements we have made over the last year for the millions of people living with kidney disease in the UK.

In 2021 we: 

  • Continued to work with the Kidney Charities Together (KCT) Group to provide guidance on COVID-19 to high risk kidney patients and helped to spread the word of kidney diseases with World Kidney Day in March.
  • Funded a much needed study for vaccine efficacy for dialysis patients with our friends at Kidney Research UK, Kidney Wales and some Kidney Patient Associations (KPAs).
  • Released a brand new campaign for increasing home dialysis with a recommendations report 
  • Launched a new fundraising challenge 'Best Foot Forward'.
  • Created a national Peer Support Service opening to patients to have a one-to-one chat and share their home dialysis queries with someone who is or has been in the same situation.
  • Held an online KPA day which included the annual general meeting with discussions on the impact of COVID-19.
  • Held the first online annual NKF Patients' Event 
  • Introduced a new NKF Ambassador, graphic communications postgraduate and positivity blogger, Hattie Stiff.
  • Stepped in to support and join forces with an online exercise and wellbeing platform, Kidney Beam.
