Kidney Care UK - 2018 Impact Report
As the UK’s leading kidney patient support charity, we are here to help and provide a much needed safety net for kidney patients and their families. Whilst we can’t cover all the work accomplished in 2018 in one publication, it is incredibly heartwarming to hear directly from those who have benefitted from our emotional, financial and practical support services or who are supporting the charity through fundraising efforts.

Fundraising: Generously giving back Fundraising: Generously giving back Fundraising to do even more Thanks to the 2,044 Kidney Care UK supporters Who raised almost £1.5m over the year “Our heartfelt thanks goes to every one of you for the support you have given and continue to give. Every challenge you take on, every legacy you leave and every single donation, makes a real and lasting difference. In 2018 we introduced a number of new ways for you to get involved, and that is exactly what you did. In April, our first team of Kidney Warriors took on the London Marathon and raised £22,402. In May, we started using Facebook Donate and an amazing £18,120 was donated this way to celebrate birthdays and kidneyversaries. In November, the ‘I Can’ appeal raised an incredible £22,163, which will enable more than 80 young adults to take part in an activity break in 2019. “Every single donation makes a real and lasting difference.” We continued to grow and develop our support services and help more patients than ever before. This is only possible because of the incredible generosity of our amazing supporters, many of whom choose to support us time and again.” Rob Hope, Head of Fundraising 38 39
