After sunset on the evening of Friday 7 February, the exterior façade of the Library of Birmingham will be lit up green to support Kidney Cancer Awareness Week 2025.

Kidney Cancer Awareness Week 2025

Kidney Cancer Awareness Week runs from Monday 3 to Friday 7 February 2025.

It’s led by Kidney Cancer UK and aims to raise awareness, spark conversations and support people affected by kidney cancer.

This year marks the 11th annual campaign, and the theme is about making sure no-one’s first experience of kidney cancer is through a diagnosis.

Throughout the week, there will be:

• free webinars with experts on topics like treatment, recovery and research
• real-life stories from people living with kidney cancer
• Green Friday on 7 February, when people across the UK wear green and landmarks light up green to show support

The week is also a chance to share information, encourage early detection and highlight how healthy lifestyle choices can reduce risk.

To get involved or find out more, visit the Kidney Cancer UK website.
