THE PURPLE HEART AWARDS 2027 sponsored by

Call Robert Accident Repair Centre.

Last year we launched the Purple Heart Awards recognising someone within the kidney community that had made a difference.

This year its back and we want to celebrate extraordinary people whose kindness, compassion, courage and dedication have touched the lives of others affected by kidney disease.

Whether they’re a patient, family member, healthcare professional, volunteer,supporter or fundraiser - we want to hear their story!

Someone deserves to be recognised for the difference they make - Could that someone be someone you know....?

🌟 NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!

Help us celebrate the unsung heroes of our kidney community. Nominate someone today and give them the recognition they deserve. 💜
