We are delighted to introduce you to Transplant Active – the new face and direction of Transplant Sport. You will see multiple examples of our new brand today capturing key ambitions of the charity Transplant Sport: 

​

• Empowering Transplant recipients to optimise their gift of life through an active lifestyle

• Demonstrate the life changing and saving impact of organ transplantation

• Raise awareness about the transformative power of organ donation

 

Transplant Sport was created 46 years ago and has successfully provided a fantastic opportunity for hundreds of transplant recipients, living donors and donor families to celebrate the gift of life through sport.

​

Currently we reach through our events and membership less than 3% of transplant recipients in Great Britain and we believe many more transplant recipients, donor families and living donors could benefit from active engagement with our transplant family.

​

We recognise that many may not participate in sport but would benefit from leading an active lifestyle.  Through our network of local Transplant Teams across Great Britain we would like to encourage new members to come together to share the incredible camaraderie and peer support that our events provide.

​

For some this could be a couch to 5K moment, and the Oxford Team launched last month a campaign to facilitate a monthly Transplant Active group in a Parkrun within our region. Here is an example of the first of these shared events and we seek to challenge Transplant Active Teams across Great Britain to facilitate similar Parkrun opportunities.

​

We believe we can actively engage many more from the Transplant community to build on our tremendous success so far. It could be a Transplant Active local ramble; wild swim; leisurely cycle; dog walk or for some joining a Transplant Active football team; running a half marathon; climbing the 3 peaks. There can be countless opportunities for all through sharing the gift of life and at the same time raising awareness about the power of organ donation across Great Britain.

So welcome to TRANSPLANT ACTIVE; help us activate GB's Transplant Family!
