Welcome to
The N&NKPA

About us

Founded in 1976, the Nottingham & Notts Kidney Patients Association (N&NKPA) was created to raise funds and provide vital facilities and support for kidney patients at Nottingham City Hospital and its satellite units.

We are a fully independent charity, run entirely by patients, carers, nurses, and friends. All of our activities and facilities are funded through the hard work and generosity of our committee and supporters.
One of our key assets is our holiday home in Skegness, available exclusively to members and their families at a very affordable cost. The house includes:

Upstairs: four bedrooms, a bathroom and toilet, plus a dedicated room for CAPD bag changes.
Downstairs: a single bedroom, lounge, dining room, kitchen, and two additional toilets.
Accessibility features: a rear wheelchair ramp, stair lift for those who struggle with stairs, and both an electric scooter and wheelchair for members with mobility needs.
Our holiday home offers a comfortable, supportive environment where kidney patients and their families can relax and enjoy time away.
