The flagship event of charity Transplant Sport, the Westfield Health British Transplant Games, will be taking place in venues across Nottingham from 1 – 4 August 2024.
The British Transplant Games is an inclusive event with a goal of raising awareness of the life-saving benefits of organ donation; the event aims to encourage transplant recipients to stay active post-transplant.
This year marks the 46th annual Games, which are set to be the charity’s most popular and successful event yet. Athletes ranging from the ages of two to eighty plus, from over 60 hospital teams across the UK, will represent their transplant unit with the support of friends, family and volunteers in over 25 sporting events.
It is expected that, in total, the Games will generate £2.4 million for the city of Nottingham – showcasing the invaluable support of partners in helping to deliver this incredible event. Not only will the city financially benefit, but also from the Games highlighting the wide range of fantastic facilities that Nottinghamshire has to offer. Events will take place in venues across the county – including Nottingham Trent University Clifton Campus, Harvey Hadden Sports Centre, David Ross Sports Village, and Wollaton Hall.
The Games are being staged with the continued support of Westfield Health, Kidney Care UK, Anthony Nolan, NHSBT, the Donor Family Network, Extra Motorway Services, British Liver Trust, Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, Sanofi and B. Braun Medical. Local partners who have committed to support the Games include Nottingham City Council, East Midlands Chamber, Nottingham Hospitals Charity, the Nottingham Organ Donation Committee, University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University and Nottingham Venues.
