We need your help to bust the myths around kidney disease! You can make a huge difference and help shine a light on kidney disease. Here’s how:
Spread the word to colleagues and friends
Support us on social media
Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and X and share our posts with your friends and followers.
You can also share your own posts using the pictures below and change your top cover photo to our themed image. Use any or all of hashtags #DontKidYouself #KidneysMatter and #WorldKidneyDay so we can find your posts and photos.
At 7pm on World Kidney Day (Thursday 13 March), we’re asking everyone to shine a light on kidney disease, the amazing patients and supporters, and remember those we’ve lost. Look out for our 'I'm shining a light for World Kidney Day' post on the day and please share it with your followers to show your support. Or create your own photo to share at that time.

Spread the word to friends and colleagues
Do you feel like your colleagues or friends don’t really understand kidney disease and the impact it has on your life? Educate them this World Kidney Day.
Download and print our Don’t Kid Yourself poster and pin it up on your office, canteen or dressing room wall. Ask your HR or work Wellbeing team if they’ll help. They might like you to hold a work ‘lunch and learn’ or Q&A session to share the facts with your colleagues. Or they might include your story and some facts about kidney disease and its symptoms in their employee newsletter. We’ve also got a factsheet and two myth-busting posters you can share with your team, friends or social groups.
Use our virtual backgrounds in video calls to get your colleagues or friends talking, and share the info sheet in the team chat.
Tell your story
We want World Kidney Day 2025 to get noticed by more people than ever and one of the best ways to do this is for people with kidney disease to share their stories. Are you up for it?
We’ve created a template document to help you. Download it below, answer the questions to tell your story, save, then email it to your local paper or radio station a week or two before World Kidney Day on 13 March. You could also include our 'myths and facts' info sheet to add to your own story.

Hold an event
If you’re holding an event for World Kidney Day, thank you! We also know many hospital units will be supporting us to help spread the word. We have printable kidney decorations (perfect to create bunting!), logos and colouring-in sheets to make your event eye-catching. We’ve also included a printable factsheet and A4 posters to help you get the truth out there about kidney disease.
