It's that time of the year when we are starting to think about Christmas but it's also the time of the year when our thoughts go to the ones we love and have lost. For the past 12 years we have displayed Christmas stars on our head office Christmas tree and this year is no different.

This year's Christmas star is available on the back page of the latest Kidney Life magazine, it is also available to download from our web site https://www.kidney.org.uk/christmas-gold-star or if you would like one posting out, please call the NKF office on 01909 544999.

Write your message on the star, you can even decorate the star making it more personal.

By making a financial contribution to our appeal you know that your donation is helping the charity to continue providing its vital service to kidney patients throughout the UK and campaign for better treatment and facilities. 2023 has been a very busy year for the NKF and as we move into 2024 we continue to develop a high quality support for patients and their families.

I hope you have a lovely Christmas and thank you for your continued support.
