Donate

In most cases kidney disease will directly impact the rest of a person’s life. This can take its toll both physically and emotionally, inevitably individuals, their families and carers may need the support of charities such as the LKPA, which is run entirely by volunteers.

Money raised is used to provide welfare assistance for patients, member events and small grants.

All donations are greatly appreciated and help us to continue to provide support and guidance throughout this uncertain time. Please donate to help us to continue to fund our vital services, we need your support now more than ever.

Grants

Where possible, we try to provide an allocation of small grants for basic needs for our most vulnerable members. We recognise that these small acts of kindness can go a long way to helping our members cope with their day-to-day challenges.

Grant applications are considered by our trustees on individual merit. The applicant’s details are confidential will be known only to the Trustees of Leicestershire Kidney Patients Association. Items to assist with dialysis such as drip stands are to be supported by a renal doctor or nurse. Other types of grant applications must come with an endorsement either from the renal social worker, or a renal nurse.
