After 40 years of active fundraising Kidney Wales, in conjunction with HSBC is promoting better health across Wales with our brand new campaign: B Active.

In recent years there has been an increasing emphasis upon the importance of physical exercise from Central Government, independent medical bodies, and in the media. This emphasis reflects the fact that, despite a drastic rise in obesity and diseases linked to physical inactivity within the UK, the physical activity levels of the nation have continued to drop.

As a charity we are always asking our supporters to come up with new and exciting ways to raise money for kidney research and patient care. Over the years it has become clear that some of the most popular and successful fundraising events involve physical activity. For example, in the past our supporters have raised money for Kidney Wales by running, sky diving, wing walking, trekking, bike riding, swimming and rock climbing to name but a few, while two of Kidney Wales’ most prominent annual events are the Cardiff 10K and 2K and the all-Wales Walk for Life.

The answer is simple: B Active – Increase your physical fitness and raise money for a great cause at the same time! Fundraising can make physical activity fun and give you that extra motivation you need to stick at it!
