ABOUT US

We are GSTTKPA

We are a registered charity founded in 1980 to support kidney patients of Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals, their families or carers.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is a centre of excellence for the treatment of kidney disease. The kidney services treat adults and children living in South East London and the surrounding areas.

Our Activities

We help patients by funding social events in the dialysis units and activities such as The Transplant Games for adults and children. We fund patient amenities, such as TVs, in clinics and dialysis units

We also raise awareness of kidney disease and organ donation on World Kidney Day and during Organ Donation Week.

We have charity bond places in three prestigious national events: The Virgin London Marathon; The Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 and the Vitality 10K London Run. Contact us for details.
