Christmas will be different
this year. There is no doubt
about it.
2020 has been like no other year and pushed many of
us to our physical, financial and mental limits. Whilst
we wait, uncertain of what the so-called ‘new normal’
will be, we do know that Christmas is coming and that it
is a time for kindness, a time to enjoy the positives in
our lives and a time to support one another.
We might not be able to visit family or friends or
celebrate with colleagues in the usual way, but we can
still show our support for the charities we value this
Christmas. And, through Kidney Care UK, you can help
support many thousands of kidney patients live life to
the full.
You can show your support in so many
different ways:
• Start a Facebook Fundraiser and ask for
donations instead of cards and presents
Further details and information are available for all of
these (and more) via our website or by getting in touch
(see contact details below right).
In doing any one of these things you are helping us
provide the practical, financial and emotional support
for kidney patients and their families. Together, we can
ensure that no-one faces kidney disease alone at
Christmas.
A huge thank you to all our supporters who
continue to make this possible. We could not
do it without you.
