Every dollar donated to OKS goes directly into supporting people in Otago affected by kidney disease.
For people new to dialysis at Dunedin Hospital — small, thoughtful items so nobody starts the journey empty-handed.
We donated $5,000 to Christchurch Kidney Society’s new dialysis treatment van — a vital resource our members also use.
Helps us continue our partnership with Good Bitches Baking, who provide treats for dialysis patients every fortnight.
Producing and posting our quarterly newsletter, and subsidising the cost of our annual member lunches.
If you’d like to make a donation — whether that’s a one-off gift, a regular contribution, or a bequest in memory of a loved one — you can pay directly into our bank account:
Account name: Otago Kidney Society
Account number: 03-0903-0387648-00
Please use your name as the reference so we know who to thank. Email info@oks.nz if there’s anything else you’d like to know.
OKS has been very fortunate to receive several bequests over the years that have allowed us to do more for our community than we ever could alone.
If you’re considering leaving a bequest to OKS, or making a donation in memory of someone special, we would be honoured to talk with you and your family about how your gift can be used.
Please email info@oks.nz, or phone our treasurer Karen Macleod on 021 280 0552, and we can arrange a quiet conversation.
We are deeply grateful to the local businesses, clubs and community groups who choose OKS as their charity of the year — like the Otago Classic Motoring Club and the Otago Early Falcon and Fairlane Club, who named us as their charity for the Auto Spectacular and raised $4,000 for our work.
If your club or business is looking for a local charity partner with a clear, practical impact, we’d love to talk.
From every member, every patient, and every volunteer — thank you for thinking of us. Your generosity makes the work possible.
