We are a well-established local charity, set up in 1976 and our main focus is to provide funding for research projects into all things kidney related – 300,000 in the North West alone suffer with chronic kidney disease and as it stands, whilst there are treatments (including a transplant) for kidney disease there is no cure.

Kidneys for Life – who are we and what do we do?

We are a well-established local charity, set up in 1976 and our main focus is to provide funding for research projects into all things kidney related – 300,000 in the North West alone suffer with chronic kidney disease and as it stands, whilst there are treatments (including a transplant) for kidney disease there is no cure.

We provide starter level funding for research projects which focus on improving dialysis, ways to make transplanted kidneys last longer and also, crucially ways to detect early stage kidney disease. We also fund training and education of North West based renal staff – all with the aim of making life better for kidney patients, of all ages, in our area. Based at the MRI in Manchester we actively support patients and staff at Salford Royal Hospital and Preston Hospital.
