KIDNEY KIDS SCOTLAND-OUR CHOSEN CHARITY FOR 2018

All money raised by team Rubberatkins throught 2018 will go to Kidney Kids Scotland, who are the only charity in Scotland supporting families living with renal disease.  Their main aim is to provide funding for dialysis equipment, and they have funded all of the dialysis equipment at Glasgow Hospital.  They also raise money to provide equipment for children to be able to have their dialysis at home.  The only hospital in Scotland where children can go for dialysis is in Glasgow, so home dialysis is a vital service for families all over Scotland who would otherwise have to travel to Glasgow 3 or 4 times per week or even relocate. It is a charity especially close to our hearts as Rubi Paice, daughter of our colleague Taran has a chronic kidney condition and in the future will be one of their beneficiaries.
