About
Transplant Sport Northern Ireland

Three smiling people wearing green jackets standing in front of a coffee shop named Kaffe o, Nordic Coffee, outside a building with trees and clouds reflected in the glass window behind them.

Transplant Sport Northern Ireland was established in 2008 by transplant recipients and best friends Janet Coleman, Andrew and Myra Weir. Their drive and enthusiasm to create a charity dedicated to providing transplant recipients in Northern Ireland with sporting opportunities gives us the thriving organisation we have today.

We provide sporting opportunities for solid organ, stem cell recipients, living donors and those waiting for these transplants.

Today we have transplant recipients taking part socially and competing in a wide variety of sports, including track and field, swimming, cycling, triathlon, bowls, pétanque, golf, race walking and darts.
