Sheffield to host 2026 British Transplant Games
5 - 9 August

Adult transplant patients of any age are very welcome to become part of the Team and their families can join them at the event.
You don't have to be a sporty person. It is more the chance to have an enjoyable time, to say thank you for your gift of life and to show that you can be fit and well after a transplant.This is an ideal opportunity to join with other transplant recipients to have a great time.
The atmosphere makes the participants feel like part of an extended family, and everyone is made to feel very welcome.
Sports include golf, archery, squash, basketball,volleyball, snooker, table tennis, ten pin bowling, swimming, badminton, darts, football, track and field events, bowls, cycling, petanque etc. and there are also social events.
