Gloskpa

The Gloucestershire Kidney Patient Association (GKPA) is a registered charity founded by kidney patients in 1989. Based in Gloucestershire, it supports people affected by kidney disease and the wider network of people involved in their care. Its membership is open to patients at different stages, including those in the early stages of kidney disease, people preparing for dialysis, dialysis patients and transplant patients. GKPA also offers support to family members, friends, and the nursing and medical staff who care for kidney patients.

The association’s team of supporters helps members find information and connect with the organisation. GKPA shares news about events and services, provides information about its meetings, and invites people to become involved. Membership is free, and supporters can contribute by helping with fundraising or suggesting new ideas. Through these activities, GKPA aims to help patients and their support networks feel informed and supported. Its website offers further details about the association, its team, membership, news, and ways to get involved.
