Charities like Kidney Care UK will always need supporters – but we know that not everyone is able to afford to give their support to us financially. Which is why we’re always keen to hear from people who are able to donate to us their time or their skills, knowledge and experience. We regularly post volunteering opportunities on this page so keep checking back to see what’s going on and how you can get involved.

Patient stories
