Supporting Kidney Health and the charities making a difference.

Every year, World Kidney Day raises awareness of the importance of kidney health and the challenges faced by millions of people living with kidney disease. At Scimitar, we are always proud to work alongside incredible organisations whose purpose is to improve lives through awareness, research, and support.

Through our work in the charity sector, we are fortunate to collaborate with inspiring organisations such as Kidney Care UK, Kidney Research UK, and Kidney Wales, helping them bring their fundraising campaigns and challenge events to life through high-quality custom kit and merchandise.

Together, these organisations are making a real difference for people affected by kidney disease across the UK.

What is World Kidney Day?

World Kidney Day is a global awareness campaign held annually to highlight the importance of kidney health and to reduce the impact of kidney disease worldwide. The day focuses on education, early detection, and encouraging people to take proactive steps to look after their kidney health.

Kidney disease is often referred to as a “silent condition” because symptoms can develop slowly and may go unnoticed until the disease has progressed significantly. By raising awareness through initiatives such as World Kidney Day, organisations and healthcare professionals hope to encourage earlier diagnosis, better prevention, and improved treatment.

Why Kidney Health Matters.

Kidney disease affects millions of people worldwide and has a significant impact on individuals, families, and communities.

Kidney disease affects 1 in 10 people across the world – that's equivalent to more than 7 million people in the UK!

Kidney Care UK
Despite how common the condition is, awareness of kidney health is still relatively low compared to other major health issues. Many people do not realise they are at risk until symptoms become more serious.

As highlighted by World Kidney Day:

Millions of people suffer in silence, facing poor physical and mental health, isolation, stigma, financial hardship, and poor employment opportunities. Meanwhile, research remains critically underfunded and lags behind other major health conditions. This needs to change.

These powerful statistics highlight why raising awareness through World Kidney Day is so important.

We are proud to play a small part in helping raise awareness, support fundraising campaigns, and contribute to the incredible work these charities continue to do.

Together, through awareness, research, and community support, we can help bring greater attention to kidney health and support those living with kidney disease.
