Richard is now 14 days into his National Kidney Federation Kick a Habit Challenge, using October to kickstart a healthier lifestyle while raising funds for kidney patients across the UK.

Together with his son Harry, Richard has begun a journey of walking, running, and improving his fitness as they prepare for the Yorkshire Tough Mudder 15K with obstacles in July 2027. What started as a 31-day challenge is the beginning of a long-term commitment to better health and supporting those affected by kidney disease.

There's still plenty of time to get involved!

Sometimes, what we need most is to be heard 🧡

This World Mental Health Day, we're reminding everyone in the kidney community that your feelings matter.

Behind every diagnosis is a person navigating challenges, fears, hopes, and emotions.

Living with kidney disease can bring questions and worries that feel overwhelming:

“How will I cope?”
“How do I tell my family?”
“Why does no one understand what I'm going through?”

The National Kidney Federation's Peer Support Service and Freephone Helpline are here to listen, support, and remind you that you're never facing things alone.

Our NKF Advisers have lived experience of kidney disease, and our trained Peer Supporters understand the unique challenges that can come with dialysis, transplantation, rare kidney conditions, caring responsibilities, and much more.

Whether you need practical advice, emotional support, or simply someone who understands, you don't have to face it alone.

📞 NKF Freephone Helpline: 0800 169 09 36
✉️ Email: [email protected]
🕘 Opening Hours: Monday to Thursday, 8:30am to 5pm / Friday 8:30am to 12:30pm

We’re pleased to see news about our Kick a Habit For Kidney Disease featured in the latest issue of Worksop Life

We’re based just down the road in Shireoaks, so it’s great to be able to share our autumn fundraising appeal with people across Worksop and the surrounding area.

Have a read on page 82 to find out more about Kick a Habit, then why not join us?

The brilliant thing about Kick a Habit is that you choose your own challenge: you could give something up or do something positive and meaningful to you, while raising money to support our national Patient Helpline and Information Service.
And if you’re thinking, “But it’s already October!” don’t worry. You can start your own month-long challenge on any date that suits you.
