About Us

The British Transplant Games incorporates a wide variety of sporting and leisure activities for all age groups, so it is in effect their own mini Olympics, and is open to any child or adult that has had an organ transplant.

The Games take place over 4 days in the summer; at a different venue each year, and from these Games the team is selected to represent Great Britain in the World Transplant Games.

The aim of The Games is to encourage transplant patients to regain fitness and to promote friendship and co-operation between individuals concerned with transplantation, whilst increasing public awareness of the value of organ donation.

Some of the children and adults competing, go on to win medals, others come along to take part, renew friendships, do their sport at their own pace and generally enjoy a few days of fun and sharing amongst so many who had debilitating illnesses but who are now fit and well as a result of a successful transplant.
