FAQ’s

What is the Best Foot Forward challenge?
The Best Foot Forward Challenge is a fundraiser, set up by the National Kidney Federation. Supporters raise money by taking on the challenge to walk 72,208 steps in support of the 72,208 that are on kidney replacement therapy in the UK.* You can take on the challenge in any way you wish, it can be done solo, as a team, in one week or spread across one month.

How do I return the fundraising money raised?
If you have created a JustGiving page there will be no action on your side required – your supporters’ donations will pay in automatically to the National Kidney Federation.

If you’ve raised offline, simply post your sponsorship form along with your sponsorship in the form of a cheque to: National Kidney Federation, The Point, Coach Road, Shireoaks, Worksop, S81 8BW.

When will I receive my Best Foot Forward socks in the post?
Once you have raised £10 or more. If you have any issues with registering for the challenge or would like to contact the NKF about your fundraiser please email [email protected] or call our office number on 01909 544999.

I don’t want the challenge socks, can I select to opt out from receiving this?
To opt out, register via our online form and select ‘No challenge socks thanks’ from the drop-down menu. You can then continue to register to the challenge and we won’t send you the socks.

How do I get half price discount on the Best Foot Forward Challenge T-shirt from the NKF online shop?
Once you've registered, started fundraising, and raised at least £10 in sponsorship, if you've opted in to receive socks, we'll send a discount code in the post that you can use to get a discounted Best Foot Forward T-shirt from our online shop. These T-shirts are currently exclusive to purchase. From 1st July 2026 they will no longer be available to purchase.

Do I have to start the challenge from 1st April or can I start my challenge late/early?
We encourage everyone involved with the challenge to complete it throughout the month of April, however this is a personal challenge and you can start/finish your challenge at a time that is convenient for you.

Do I need to prove that I have completed the challenge?
No, don’t worry, we encourage our supporters to just keep their family and friends updated on the challenge and to share the fundraising page.

I’m not able to complete 72,208 steps, can I still take part?
Of course! The challenge is for everyone. Whatever steps you do is in support of the kidney patients and the National Kidney Federation.
