On 17 March 2026, from the historic port of Falmouth in Cornwall, Full Circle set sail on an extraordinary expedition - a 2,000 nautical mile circumnavigation of the United Kingdom, celebrating the strength and spirit of our Armed Forces community.

Full Circle is a groundbreaking charity project led by Turn to Starboard and in collaboration with Invictus Games Birmingham 2027. Full Circle will bring together over 70 serving and veteran members of the Armed Forces who are wounded, injured, or sick and give them life transforming training and experiences.

I am honoured and fortunate to be able to come along on Leg 3 of the Full Circle sailing expedition, to help with moral support and encouragement for the crew of wounded, injured or sick serving personnel and veterans. Expeditions like these are more than just an adventurous journey at sea. It is a living story of courage, service, and renewal; a reminder of how shared challenge and team work, combined with the raw power of nature can heal, empower, and unite people.
