Situation
3.5 million people in the UK have chronic kidney disease - Over 70,000 people in the UK are being treated for kidney failure. Kidney failure can cause exhaustion, nausea and pain, as well as anaemia which makes it hard to stay warm. Treatment is relentless, taking up many hours each week. Imagine trying to deal with all of this and holding down a job – it is often impossible. The cost of living crisis is affecting us all, but kidney patients are struggling more than many, feeling like they are being priced out of existence.
