Trusts and foundations

How we work with trusts and foundations of all sizes across the UK, and what we've achieved for the kidney community thanks to their support.

Our work would not be possible without the generous support and investment of charitable trusts and foundations working with us to ensure no one faces kidney disease alone.

Some of the projects trusts and foundations have funded include:

We wanted to ensure kidney patients across the UK could access vital support to maximise their income, access welfare benefits and improve energy efficiency at home. Thanks to support and funding from the British Gas Energy Trust, this service has quickly established itself as a critical resource for kidney patients, sitting alongside our wider suite of support. Financial health is closely connected with physical health, especially for kidney patients, and our goal is to help alleviate some of that strain.
