Our Commitment

“To be of service, authentically and with gratitude.”

For Veterans & Families  

Our respite centre’s logo depicts the sheepdog standing between the work and the flock. It represents those who serve our communities & by so doing put themselves in harm’s way.

We define veterans as anyone who has served a single day in the emergency services, military, the NHS, and many other public and charity services.

An Turas has been built to save and improve lives

Now, and for generations to come

Our vision is to build a business that can acquire and sustain a respite centre for veterans and their families. Our definition of veteran is maximally inclusive: anyone who has served a single day in the emergency services, the military, the NHS, and many other public and charity services.

Our founder and managing director Rusty is a PTSD survivor and all his work now is to try to help reduce the risk of anyone becoming as unwell as he was in 2016. The vision for the centre is to support those who serve to help others. Their service often leads to moral injury and mental ill-health. The centre will be inclusive, and slightly remote, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in healthy habits and nature. There will be alot of tree planting!

Join us in delivering this by signing up for any of our products and services to help save those who serve us all.

Let’s save a life. Just one life is enough.

Our environmental commitment 

At An Turas, we are committed to saving and improving lives, not only in the healthcare industry but worldwide. We strive to reduce our carbon footprint and improve our world by supporting Carma: a business that aims to make a positive social and environmental impact through planting trees.

Carma is partnered with the Green Task Force, who help veterans on their recovery journey through nature-based Therapy and supporting them with meaningful employment. So, how do An Turas support Carma? Each of our staff has a subscription with Carma, meaning an extra 40 trees are planted every month!

Not only that but with every sale, we fund a tree to be planted by Carma. So, when you purchase your course at An Turas, you are supporting recovering veterans and improving our planet. You can check out our profile here.
