Regional Peer Support Groups

The Kidney Support Groups listed below are generally consumer led - and on a volunteer basis. Many of the people running these groups will be familiar with the renal system - and many will have had transplants, or will be waiting for one.

These support groups are the best way to meet with other people in your area face-to-face who have dealt, or a dealing with the same issues as you.

Members of these support groups include patients, family members, people on dialysis, people who are starting their kidney journey and those who have received  a transplant many years ago - and want to help support those who are starting out.
