Who are Leeds Adults?

The Leeds Adults Transplant Sport team consists of transplant recipients aged 18 to 86, along with their friends and families. We engage in various sports for both fun and competition, as well as social activities, fundraising, and charity events. Our dedicated members come together not only to compete but also to foster a sense of community and support for one another.

We ensure that new recipients receive a warm welcome and the support they and their families may need during the uncertain days immediately following transplantation. We encourage a normal, healthy lifestyle and participation in sports, while also building friendships and celebrating the gift of life.

We’d love you to join the team and help us grow.

The team welcomes anyone who has had their transplant within Leeds Teaching Hospitals, their families, friends, donor families and anyone who would like to help raise awareness of organ donation. Whether you’re interested in sport, or want to come along and support us, there’s something for everyone to get involved with.

While only transplant recipients can compete in most of the sports at the games, supporters play a vital role by participating in social events and cheering on the athletes. This also gives the families of recipients opportunities to meet with others who have had similar experiences, sharing stories and learning from each other.

We invite you to come see what these games are all about and be part of an inspiring and uplifting event.

In 2022, the BTG were held in Leeds, where we proudly entered our largest team ever. Our contingent included 57 competitors and 27 spectators, making us the largest team at the games that year. Here's what those games were like in our home city.
