The Full Circle Expedition is raising vital funds to support Turn to Starboard’s long-term impact. Your donations will help the charity to purchase Pellew, a new ship that will allow Turn to Starboard to support even more veterans facing challenges such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, physical injury, isolation, unemployment, and low confidence.

On 17th March and from the historic port of Falmouth, Full Circle sets sail on an extraordinary journey around the coast of the United Kingdom. Two tall ships, 2,000 nautical miles, 22 ports, and 12 weeks at sea – all powered by the spirit of over 70 serving and veteran members of the Armed Forces who are wounded, injured, or sick. This remarkable expedition is more than a voyage. It’s a powerful story of courage, service, and renewal – a testament to how adventure and the sea can help heal, inspire, and bring people together.
The journey will be split into five legs, with a crew changeover for each one. On each leg there are multiple stops, and in each there will be a series of events and activities planned.
Turn to Starboard is proud to announce that this undertaking will be in partnership with the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027, uniting two organisations committed to empowering veterans through challenge, camaraderie, and community. Both believe in the transformative power of adventure, teamwork, and perseverance.
Where the Invictus Games harness the spirit of sport to inspire recovery and rehabilitation, Turn to Starboard channels the unique challenges of life at sea to rebuild confidence, find purpose and navigate life with intention and fulfilment.
This collaboration not only honours the sacrifices of those who have served, but also builds a lasting legacy of hope, healing, and possibility. It is more than a voyage, it’s a powerful story of courage, service, and renewal – a testament to how adventure and the sea can help heal, inspire, and bring people together.
