TRANSPLANT GAMES

 

 

2026 Westfield Health British Transplant Games, Sheffield

5 - 9 August

 

The British Transplant Games will be held in Sheffield in 2026, with events taking place in and around the Olympic Legacy Park, at Ponds Forge, Hillsborough Golf Club etc. Most venues can be easily reached via Supertram.

 

 

New Team Members welcome

 

This year is an ideal opportunity to get involved as Sheffield is the host city.

If you have received a transplant or if you have donated a kidney there are events for you. Adult transplant patients of any age are very welcome to join the Sheffield Team. 

 

The Games work on many levels. Some participants are keen sportspeople, but many others attend to have a good time and to have a go at a new activity. You are very welcome to come along and try an activity for the first time and no previous experience is needed.

 

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. 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 event

New Team Member for 2026

 

Glyn Davies will be competing in the Golf for the first time in 2026. His wife, Claire, donated a kidney to him just in time for Valentines Day 2025, and their story has been featuring across the local and national news.

The Games aims to raise awareness about organ donation and it is stories like this one which really help to get the message across to the general public.
