Patrons

We are lucky enough to have a number of famous people who support Kids Kidney Research.

Who they are and why they are involved?

Lucy Davis

Lucy  (starred in "The Office", Sean of the Dead and Pride & Prejudice amongst other TV and Film work)

"I had a kidney transplant nearly ten years ago and was lucky enough to receive a kidney from my mother.  I am now well and healthy, although I have to be careful what I eat and remember my medication". 

Julia Watson

(poet, star of stage and screen and TV hit "Casualty")

"Over the next few years the ground-breaking projects funded by Kids Kidney Research could transform the lives of children with kidney conditions.  Please join me in supporting Kids Kidney Research if you can"
 

Frank Thornton

(actor and star of TV hits "Last of the Summer Wine" and "Are you being Served?")

"As a patron of Kids Kidney Research, I have learnt a good deal about kidneys over the years.  Like so many things in life, these amazingly clever and complex filters are only truly appreciated when they start to go wrong.  I have learnt that the impact of failing kidneys on children like Chloe, Andrew and Farah, and their families, can be immense.  I have learnt never to underestimate their determination to enjoy life, despite their difficulties.  For me, they are a true inspiration"

Charles Dunstone

(CEO of Carphone Warehouse)

"Kids Kidney Research is a charity staffed entirely by volunteers.  As a result over 97% of your fundraising goes directly to researching children's kidney disorders and diseases.  Your donation, large or small, makes a significant difference"
