Crafting for Kidney Care UK

At Kidney Care UK, we believe that every stitch, every brushstroke, and every handmade creation can make a real impact. By getting creative and crafting for our cause, you’ll join a community of passionate people, all working together to support those living with kidney disease.

Crafting is more than just making beautiful items; it's about making a difference. Whether you're knitting, sewing, painting, or creating one-of-a-kind items, your craft has the potential to bring hope and support to kidney patients and their families.

Raising just £100 through a craft fundraiser could provide essential support for families affected by kidney disease.

Your efforts could help fund a Kidney Care UK grant, which offers up to £300 to assist with life’s critical needs, such as replacing essential household items, supporting home dialysis, and ensuring a warm, safe home. These grants bring relief and peace of mind, and you can be part of that change.

Combine your crafting with Kidney Care awareness!

Why not get creative while raising awareness for kidney health? Be inspired by key kidney stats and facts and make some kidney-inspired crafts like:

  • Kidney-shaped keyrings
  • Fimo kidneys
  • Kidney-shaped clay rings
  • Kidney-shaped hook earrings
  • Anything else kidney-related you can dream up!
