Change lives in a life-changing career
When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.
The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. That’s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer. We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise wellbeing. And we stop at nothing to make sure they get the right care and support at the right time.

About Kidney Care UK
3.5 million people in the UK have chronic kidney disease (CKD), a diagnosis that can turn your world upside down.
For 50 years, Kidney Care UK has been at the forefront of supporting people with kidney disease. From our early days when we campaigned to introduce donor cards in the UK, we have worked hard to support and represent the interests of everyone affected by this lifelong condition. We provide practical, emotional, and financial support for individuals and their families, while also working with healthcare professionals to improve care services and campaign for change.
Kidney disease can affect anyone and there is no cure. We are here for the young and the old, for those struggling to make ends meet, for families and loved ones. We fight tirelessly, giving our total support, to improve the lives of kidney patients and their families.
We’ve grown significantly over recent years. But this is just the start – we want to grow our income significantly in the next five years as part of our ambitious new strategy to ensure that the charity is fully sustainable so that we can support the 1000s of patients who need us every year. We’ve been making quite a splash recently – our ‘Bloody Amazing Kidneys’ campaign has seen more than 200,000 people successfully complete our online kidney checker so they can understand their risk of kidney disease.
Will you join us and help ensure that no one faces kidney disease alone?
