World Kidney Day, which takes place on 12 March this year, is designed to raise awareness about how import kidneys are crucial role in keeping us alive and well. The day is also to help spread the word that kidney disease is common, harmful and treatable.
The theme is “Keep the Pressure Down” highlighting the importance of high blood pressure as one of the key symptoms and causes of chronic kidney disease.
Many people who suffer kidney problems are children and ensuring we all keep hydrated is crucial to healthy kidneys.

Kids Kidney Research have put together a information pack aimed at primary school children, with a selection of fun and exciting ideas on how to mark this important day which can be found at http://www.worldkidneyday.org/

Hopefully many Primary schools in Southwark will be taking part.
