We are raising money in aid of Children's Kidney Fund NI and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to us and the those who benefit from every donation.

Please note, every penny raised goes directly help the children and their families. Read how we help below...

The Children’s Kidney Fund is a Northern Ireland-based independent charity aiming to help children and their families benefit directly in a variety of practical ways. It was set up by a parent in 1999 with life experience of caring for a child with a chronic kidney condition. Check out our website here.

Toys, crafts, and gaming devices to relieve the boredom, the stress of hospital stays, and dialysis sessions and as a distraction during less pleasant or painful procedures are purchased through the Charity.

Expenses during lengthy or unexpected hospital admissions are subsidised by the fund. Holiday grants are given on request for much-needed breaks for families living daily with kidney conditions, or day trips/family outings for families with the constraints of dialysis.

The Fund contributes to the expenses of a Children's Team attending the annual Transplant Games, where children showcase the benefits of transplantation and highlight the health which children achieve after a kidney transplant. The Games also give children and their families with similar life experiences to opportunity to meet outside the hospital environment.
