We are here to offer our help & support
Here at KKPA all the volunteers are either kidney patients themselves or carers for kidney patients. We are here to offer our help & support to kidney patients and their families as they navigate their very emotional and at times traumatic journey's living with chronic kidney disease. We are a small non-profit charity on a mission to support as many people as we can.
We also raise awareness of kidney disease and the importance of a healthy life-style to help reduce stress & obesity (diabetes) which are both big contributory factors of kidney disease.
We would love to hear from you & if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please do get in touch with us here.
Support Groups
While we are unable to get together in person, we do meet up monthly via Zoom. Why not come along and join us for our next "coffee morning" where you'll meet other renal patients and carers to talk about anything & everything that comes up.
You are never on your own
With KKPA you have a team of people working for you to help in any way we can & if we can't help, we can certainly point you in the right direction.

What can I eat?
For kidney patients, what we can or cannot eat can be very confusing at times.
For information & advice you can contact the renal dietitians or find some inspiration from a range of kidney friendly recipe books
