The #InvictusGames Flag will journey around the UK this spring as part of the Full Circle Expedition, carried by members of the Invictus Community. Sailing aboard Spirit of Falmouth and Pellew, the flag will visit 22 ports across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland - representing resilience, recovery and the enduring strength of the Invictus Spirit. Delivered in partnership with Turn to Starboard, the expedition highlights the many pathways to recovery beyond sport, using challenge, teamwork and shared experience at sea to rebuild confidence and purpose. Be sure to follow the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027 accounts as momentum builds towards the return of the Games to the UK.

Congratulations to the members of the Invictus Community who competed at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympics. Representing Australia, Great Britain, Georgia, Italy and South Korea, these athletes continue to demonstrate the power of sport in recovery and the resilience of our community. From their journeys through the Invictus Games to competing on the Paralympic stage, we are incredibly proud to see them representing their nations and inspiring others around the world. During the Games, our CEO Rob Owen OBE and Deputy CEO Richard Smith CBE attended and met with senior leaders from the International Paralympic Committee to further strengthen our organisations’ relationship and support the continued development of adaptive sport across the globe. It was also fantastic to see members of the Invictus Community represented beyond the field of play, with Steve Arnold, former Invictus Games competitor and Paralympian, providing commentary for Channel 4’s Paralympics coverage.

I AM the master of my fate. I AM the captain of my soul. On #WorldPoetryDay, we celebrate the powerful words of William Ernest Henley - whose poem Invictus has inspired thousands within our community to find strength, resilience, and purpose on their recovery journey.
