Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2024

Strategic report

In 2024, the Global Kidney Foundation (GKF) continued to make substantial progress in its mission to increase NHS organ donor registrations and improve the lives of individuals affected by kidney disease, including those undergoing dialysis and their families. Recognising the mental health challenges that accompany chronic illness, GKF placed strong emphasis on compassionate care, community education, and targeted outreach.

Our efforts focused on breaking down misconceptions and cultural barriers to organ donation, particularly within Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities, faith groups, and student populations. With the full return of in-person programming following the pandemic, we resumed our free community health checks across various cities, combining kidney health screening with organ donation awareness. Hospital visits to dialysis patients also recommenced, providing much-needed emotional support and encouragement during treatment.

A major milestone this year was the donation of £21,000 to the Renal Department of the Royal London NHS Hospital in February 2024. These funds were raised during the Global Kidney Foundation Gala in London in November 2023, which brought together supporters, healthcare professionals, and the wider community to raise awareness of organ donation. A follow-up presentation event was held at the hospital, attended by celebrities, influencers, patients, and medical staff, creating further visibility for the cause.

The Gala also honoured living kidney donors through our Living Donors Heroes initiative, where donors received a commemorative pin to acknowledge their life-saving contributions. This initiative continues to be a powerful symbol of gratitude and a motivator for others to consider living donation.

Throughout the year, GKF participated in numerous public events to increase visibility and engagement. In summer 2024, we attended the Miss Generation Gala in London, where a GKF representative delivered a speech on kidney health and organ donation to an audience of over 300 people. The event also saw the selection of Miss Global Kidney Foundation, who will serve as an ambassador for the cause over the coming year.

Another key moment was GKF’s participation in the 2024 British Transplant Games in Nottingham, where our volunteers engaged with transplant recipients to share their personal stories and promote the importance of physical activity post-transplant. GKF also sponsored the sports team from Barts Health NHS Foundation Trust, supporting more than 20 transplant patients in attending and competing at the Games.

We also extended our advocacy efforts to business leaders by attending the West Midlands Economic Summit 2024, where our trustees and volunteers spoke directly with employers about the importance of kidney health and organ donation. This engagement helped to encourage organ donation awareness within corporate settings and community networks.

To ensure our message reached communities at the grassroots level, GKF organised and participated in a range of awareness events in schools, hospitals, churches, mosques, and community centres across the UK. Notably, we held educational sessions at institutions such as the Scholars School System in Birmingham and Bradford, where students learned about the importance of organ donation and healthy kidneys. NHS Blood & Transplant ambassadors joined us to speak directly with young people about their role in supporting donor registration. During Organ Donation Week 2024, we hosted public events in Birmingham City Centre and Bradford, reaching a wide and diverse audience with vital information and opportunities to get involved.

3 | P a g e

In addition to in-person outreach, GKF expanded its digital engagement by producing educational and inspirational video content featuring trustees, ambassadors, and patients. These videos encouraged viewers to register as organ donors, explore living donation, and have meaningful conversations with family members. Social media campaigns, including a viral “I’m an organ donor” video competition, significantly increased public awareness and participation.

Our ongoing collaborations with community organisations, renal units, hospitals, and patient support groups continue to strengthen our impact. Through shared events and joint campaigns—including our continued partnership with Miss Generation UK—we are reaching wider audiences and ensuring consistent advocacy for organ donation and kidney health.

Looking ahead, the Global Kidney Foundation remains fully committed to its mission: to educate, support, and empower individuals and communities affected by kidney disease, while advocating for organ donation and improved patient outcomes. The progress achieved in 2024 has strengthened our foundation and prepared us for further impact in the years to come.

Achievements and performance

In 2024, the Global Kidney Foundation (GKF) made major progress in raising awareness about lifesaving organ donation, promoting kidney health, and supporting kidney patients through a diverse range of high-impact initiatives and partnerships across the UK.

Donation of £21,000 to the Renal Department of the Royal London NHS Hospital in February 2024. The money was raised by GKF, which organised a charity fundraising Global Kidney Foundation Gala in London in November 2023. The aim of the charity and of the fundraising Gala in 2023 was also to raise awareness of life-saving organ donation, supporting the NHS in its work in this field. 100% of all money raised was donated to the Renal Department of the Royal London NHS Hospital.

GKF organised a donation presentation event at the Royal London Hospital in February 2024. The event further raised awareness of the importance of organ donation. Celebrities and influencers attended the event and met with dialysis patients, nurses, and doctors, learning about their lives and their work, and then further raising awareness among the general public about life-saving organ donation.

Raising awareness about life-saving organ donation and kidney health at Miss Generation Gala in London, summer 2024. The Global Kidney Foundation raised awareness at this event, attended by 300 people. A representative of the Global Kidney Foundation gave a speech about organ donation and kidney health, and to further raise awareness, Miss Global Kidney Foundation was also chosen by the judges to promote organ donation throughout the year.

The Global Kidney Foundation (GKF) attended and supported the British Transplant Games 2024 in Nottingham. Volunteers spoke to transplant recipients about their personal stories and raised awareness on social media about organ donation and the importance of sport and physical activity for good health, including among people who had an organ transplant.

The Global Kidney Foundation supported and sponsored the London Barts Health NHS Foundation Trust hospital sports team of organ transplant recipients; the donation supported the team of 20+ patients to attend and participate in the Games in Nottingham.

Raising awareness of organ donation and kidney health at West Midlands Economic Summit 2024: a team of GKF trustees and volunteers attended the Summit and raised awareness among business leaders about kidney health and organ donation, so that the business leaders can further raise this awareness within their respective communities and workplaces.

The Global Kidney Foundation has been organising a number of organ donation awareness events in various communities and in various cities. Highlights:

The charity organised an organ donation event at Scholars School System in Birmingham in autumn 2024, educating the student community on the importance of supporting organ donation. NHS Blood & Transplant ambassadors attended the event and spoke to students about organ donation.

The Global Kidney Foundation organised events to celebrate Organ Donation Week in September 2024 in two cities: Birmingham City Centre and Bradford at the Scholars School System Campus. The events highlighted the vital importance of organ donation, raised awareness about kidney disease, and educated the public on how to fully support organ donation.
