Story
KKPA are a small, local charity based in Kent, supporting kidney patients, their families, friends and carers.
Our priority is to ensure we help as many patients as we can and a big part of this is encouraging them to get active again after receiving a life-saving transplant and a 2nd shot at life.
Running for over 40 years, 'The Westfield Health British Transplant Games' are a celebration of life.
Taking place in different host cities every Summer, the games see teams from hospitals across the UK come together to compete in a medley of sports. The 4-day event attracts around 1000 transplant athletes and more than 1700 supporters.
An inclusive Games: Transplant survivors including children as young as five can compete in more than 25 sports and indeed, many athletes also go on to compete at the World Transplant Games.
About the Games: The Games are organised on behalf of 'Transplant Sport' whose aim is to raise awareness of the need for organ donation.
