It’s impossible to overstate the value of
our health and wellbeing. For those on the
waiting list and their families, needing a
transplant often brings great anxiety. On
top of any physical symptoms, the sense
of losing control over their own wellbeing
can wreak havoc on their mental health.
For those who haven’t experienced it, the
conversation around organ donation can
feel difficult, but it’s a conversation that
can make a huge difference.
Last year, the NHS facilitated nearly
4,600 transplants, but around 7,000
people remain on the waiting list.
That’s why the Westfield Health British
Transplant Games are so important.
Year after year, the Games bring people
together in a celebration of life, raising
awareness of organ donation and the
incredible impact it has.
