Story

The Voyage of Recovery is now sailing!

Thanks to your support our very special adventure to directly aid over 100 people working hard to overcome addiction is now sailing. Follow the voyage at www.phoenix-futures.org.uk

We'll be fundraising throughout the 3-month voyage so please keep up the donations. All your donations will go directly to support the voyage.

Your donations will provide a life-changing experience to over 100 service users in active treatment for addiction, as they crew the Tectona in 12 legs around the coastal waters of Britain.

The voyage will challenge the participants to work together and support each other to make the journey. It will be tough, service users will be involved in every aspect of sailing the Tectona, they will learn new skills and build confidence that will aid them in the future.

We also hope the boat, as a visible symbol of hope, will show the world that recovery is possible and is happening.

Professional crew from the Island Trust will ensure everyone is safe and will encourage service user to reflect on thier experiences on a daily basis.
