The NIKRF is run entirely by volunteers, spread across many support groups in NI, working to support the charity with donations and events. Events such as the Waringstown Cavalcade, help to fund research and for over fifty years, the charity has been honoured to have funded over one hundred scientists, doctors and nurses, all based in NI.

The NIKRF strive forward, continuing to ‘light the way’ and extend an invitation to anyone who wishes to support, volunteer or advocate for kidney disease to get in contact. Contact:
