About Us
The PKD Charity was established in December 2000 by patients, professionals and members of families affected by PKD.
In 2015, the trustees agreed to incorporate the charity and the PKD Charity was re-registered with the Charity Commission (No 1160970). The assets and income of the original charitable trust (No 1085662) were transferred to the new charitable company on 27 May 2015.

- Promoting awareness of PKD through the production and publication of authoritative information for the general public and health professionals about the medical, healthcare and related aspects of PKD.
