Young Adult Kidney Group Weekend 2025: Registration – Important Changes to Know
I'm excited to help share some important news about this year’s Young Adult Kidney Group (YAKG) Residential Weekend, which will take place from 5th–8th September 2025!
The registration information below comes directly from the Kidney Care UK YAKG organisers — please make sure to read carefully if you’re hoping to attend.
Registration Details
- Registration opens: 12th May 2025
- Registration closes: 26th June 2025
You’ll need to register during this window to be considered for a place.
Important Changes to Registration Criteria
Because of the incredible popularity of the YA Residential Weekend, the organisers have made some changes to the registration criteria this year:
- If you have attended more than twice since 2022, you will automatically be placed on a waiting list.
- Priority will be given to young adults who have never attended before or who have only attended once since 2022.
- If spaces remain, places for those on the waiting list may be offered around mid-August.
There is a maximum of 70 places available this year. These updates aim to make sure as many new young adults as possible get the chance to experience the weekend.
The Young Adult Weekend Handbook is also being updated and will be available to view and download on the Kidney Care UK website.

A Note from Me
I won’t be attending the YA Residential Weekend this year, as I’m currently focusing on my studies — but I’ll definitely be thinking of everyone heading to this special event!
If you’re interested in reading about my past experiences at the YA weekends or my wider kidney journey, feel free to explore other posts here on my blog. I’ve shared lots of memories and reflections that I hope will help anyone attending for the first time!
Wishing everyone who registers the best of luck — it’s truly an unforgettable weekend.
