Support Our National Kidney Centre!

Building work has now commenced at the National Kidney Support Centre on the grounds of Beaumont Hospital, news that has been welcomed by the entire IKA community. A huge amount of items are required to get the centre back up and running so a dedicated website has been launched to support this project at www.supportkidneycentre.ie.

By visiting this website, supporters can give an item required to get the centre back up and running, from windows and washing machines, to teaspoons and toasters. We need it all and we need your help!
