## Dare to Live Report 2020 ## Objectives of Dare to Live Trust The Dare to Live Trust aims to improve wellbeing and ease challenges that servicemen and women experience as they transition into civilian life. It also aims to support families of veterans, and young adults who may experience challenges as they transition into adult life. These aims are met by delivering one to three-day programmes using a combination of theory, classroom exercises and outdoor experiential activities with the horses, overseen by a team of highly qualified facilitators, based at Hale Court Farm, Sussex. ## Overview of 2020 CV-19 put all D2L projects on hold for 2020 and the charity was unable to offer any onsite programmes. Additionally, Robin and Sun’s tenancy at Hale Court Farm was unexpectedly terminated, and so the charity had to suspend all further activities until a suitable site was found. This proved extremely difficult. September 2020, a site was sourced for Dare to Live at Bolebrook Farm, Hartfield and the horses and all equipment were moved (cost covered personally by Sun), but it quickly transpired that the owners were not flexible to accommodate the needs of the herd or indeed a charity and we were given notice to leave asap in 2021. Additionally, on top of lock down, the house move and the equine site move Robin was diagnosed with cancer in December 2020, and the decision was taken to put all D2L projects on hold until a new equine site was found. ## Dare to Live Research Project 2019 focused on securing universities to support the data analysis and to write up the service evaluation. Dr Jane Williams from Hartpury University, Professor Mark Shevlin and Dr Karen Kirby of Ulster University have all volunteered to do the service evaluation and have committed to support me to write up a paper for publishing in the European Journal of Psychotraumatology. All three have also committed to support an RCT; Professor Mark Shevlin stated he has some funding from the Armed Forces Covenant he could allocate, and Dr Jane Williams has stated that Hartpury will also be able to offer funding for a RCT along with neurobiological monitoring equipment for both horses and humans, to be supplied from Kings University. Mark Shevlin is a professor of psychology at Ulster University (Magee) and an Honorary Professor of Psychological Research Methods and Statistics at the Southern University of Denmark. The Dare to Live Trust, Charity No. 1157442 Trustees: Simon Bennett, Debra Logan, Guy Evans, Robin Evans 12 Bluebell Lane, Sharpthorne, East Grinstead RH19 4PF Tel. 01342 891 889 Dr Karen Kirby (PhD, MSc, BSc, C.Psychol, AfBPS, SFHEA) has been employed by Ulster University as Lecturer of Counselling Psychology since 2004. Dr Williams, a qualified veterinary nurse, is a trustee and treasurer for the International Society of Equitation Science. Her main areas of professional interest include scientific evaluation of equestrian performance and training, rider impacts on equitation, and reliability assessment across equestrian science and veterinary physiotherapy No veteran programmes were delivered in 2020 and the progression of research projects were put on hold. Sun had discussions with Dr Jane Williams from Hartpury University as to next steps in the RCT and writing an academic paper, but as all universities were experiencing significant stress on resources and it was agreed to postpone all further work until 2021. The International Society for Anthrozoology (ISAZ) conference April 2020 was delayed until July 2020 and a pre-recorded presentation was delivered by Dr Jane Williams. This presentation was a summary of the outcomes from the Dare to Live qualitative and quantitative data collection for 45/59 participants data that was collated from 2017 - 2018 seven x three-day Forces in Transition military personal and veterans’ programmes funded by the £50K from the National Lottery. ISAZ promotes academic, scientific, and scholarly research into all aspects of human-animal interactions (HAI) and fosters interaction between researchers in this area on an international basis (Bradshaw, 1991; Friedmann, 1991). ## Update on Hackney Youth Project EQUIB Despite several emails sent by Mary Joy Johnson, no response was had from EQUIB. ## Dare to Live Wales – Armed Forces Covenant Trust Fund £35K Equus Ferus based in Wales were awarded £35K by the Armed Forces Covenant Trust to deliver a 3-day Dare to Live Forces in Transition programme, 3 x 1-day partners programmes and 6 x 2-hour online follow-on support sessions for 9 veterans and their key supporter (family or friend). This programme will start January 2021 and finish December 2021.

Further funding is being discussed with Hartpury and Ulster Universities to continue the research programme. 3. Discussions to run Dare to Live Programmes in Germany and Northern Ireland are still in progress but have been put on hold due to CV-19 travel restrictions. 4. Continuation of service evaluation and peer reviewed research paper.
