We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who will receive training to become peer educators who will use your knowledge and understanding of your local community to spread awareness of kidney disease and the importance of kidney health checks.
We need people in the community beating the drum and making noise about kidney disease and the importance of research.
We want you to make the most of your local opportunities and be the face of Kidney Research UK in your community. We want you to encourage others to support us with their time, voice and money. The role is not limited to this role description, we want you to be inspired and creative and find your own opportunities that we can support you to achieve.
If you have donated a kidney to someone, or are close to someone else who has donated, you could help others considering donating by becoming a buddy in the UK Living Kidney Donation Buddy Support Service.
This service allows people who are still considering living kidney donation, or who have begun the process but haven’t yet donated, to speak with someone with lived experience of donating a kidney. The service offers a secure and safe place where they can chat with someone who has first hand experience of donating a kidney and understands that journey.
Visit the webpage on Becoming a Buddy from our partners at the Robert Dangoor Partnership for Living Kidney Donation for more information on how you can volunteer to become a buddy.
We are looking for people to bridge the gap between Kidney Research UK and their local renal unit or unit they visit most.
