Welcome to KKPA

Established in 1986, KKPA is a non-profit charity, run by kidney patients for kidney patients; providing financial support, specialist advice, guidance and access to further information and resources for kidney patients in Kent.

We partner with East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (EKHUFT) & support the renal units below.

We are here to help & support

all kidney patients registered with EKHUFT Renal Units in: ASHFORD, CANTERBURY, DOVER, MAIDSTONE, MARGATE & MEDWAY & their families, friends and/or carers. Everyone is welcome & membership is FREE!

​

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
