As a Games Partner for the upcoming Westfield Health British Transplant Games, Nottingham Venues has announced that it is supporting the games and its athletes through a sponsorship agreement.
The British Transplant Games will take place in Nottingham from 1st-4th August, welcoming over 2,500 participants to the city and 1,000 transplant recipients in a celebration of the gift of life.
The flagship event of charity Transplant Sport, the 46th annual British Transplant Games, is a multi-sport event, which aims to raise awareness of the life-saving benefits of organ donation.
To support the event, which will see 25+ different sports hosted in venues across the city, Nottingham Venues has provided a value-in-kind offer of £20,000, with their Jubilee Hotel & Conference Centre named the key partner venue.
The donation includes a total of 55 complementary bed and breakfast stays at either of Nottingham Venues’ hotels on the University of Nottingham campus, The Orchard and the Jubilee Hotel, for event participants and staff – located close by to many of the sporting events which are taking place at university facilities.
Furthermore, a team of volunteers from the organisation will be on hand to support during the Games, with the children’s team party and darts social events both being hosted at the East Midlands Conference Centre at a reduced cost and discounted food and drinks on offer.
Tom Waldron-Lynch, CEO of Nottingham Venues, said: “It is a very exciting time for Nottingham Venues, the university and the city itself as we host the British Transplant Games for the first time.
“We are proud to be able to support events happening in our city and it is a pleasure to be able to partner with such an important cause which will attract participants and spectators from across the UK to Nottingham. We are looking forward to showcasing Nottingham’s many fantastic venues and facilities at the Games.”
The sponsorship demonstrates Nottingham Venues’ commitment to the local community and continues its support of regional events – such as last year’s Robin Hood Half Marathon.
Paul Harden, Chairman of Transplant Sport, said: “Nottingham is a fantastic city, and we are very lucky to be partnering with local organisations like Nottingham Venues to deliver this year’s British Transplant Games.
“We are excited to be working with Nottingham Venues and are thankful for their generous donation which includes hosting some of our events and athletes at their spectacular venues. We look forward to welcoming everyone soon!”
