In the charity's own words
Give a Kidney's vision is "No waiting for a transplant for want of a kidney". We aim to achieve this by: raising awareness of living kidney donation, supporting living donors on their journey and advocating for living donation and for improvements to the living donation process. We have a particular focus on non-directed (altruistic) donation, that is giving your spare kidney to a stranger.
