Dare to Live Report 2021
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.
Overview of 2021
New People – New Energy – New Directions
After the challenges of 2020 and the pandemic, Sun spent time connecting with people to re-think the future of Dare to Live and what we could offer. Mary Joy Johnson was invited become a codirector of a series of new programmes ‘For Those That Care’ in response to Covid-19 SARS virus impact on the health sector aimed primarily at all social and health care workers, volunteers and carers of those most affected by lockdown.
During this development of ideas, Mary Joy was given notice of her equine site, and she and Sun decided to share resources and join their herds together to form a new herd – it is proposed that this becomes the ‘The Dare to Live Herd’.
New Equine Site: Tyes Cross Farm RH19 5HS
The Trust has, to date, utilised the private land and premises of Sun Tui & Robin Evans. With their move from Hale Court Farm an alternative home for the horses was sought. A connection was made with a local land owner, Tony Grubb, who hosts a school for children with autism, also a charity. He was inspired by the work of the charity and discussions were held regarding the possibility of renting some land from him.
In March 2021 Sun’s 4 horses, along with 7 horses owned by Mary Joy Johnson, moved to 21.59 acres of grazing land and 4 acres of woodland at Tyes Cross Farm, Sharpthorne, with the promise of a 5- year renewable lease minimum tenancy 10 years so that Dare to Live could develop the site under a Farm Business Tenancy (FBT).
For the lease agreement to qualify as a FBT, planning permission would have been required from Mid Sussex District Council (MSDC) to convert the classification of the land from simple grazing to farm business, to allow for siting of a container and trackway which we needed to build out of Mudcontrol Mats due to difficult access of the site in winter.
Mudcontrol Mats – the supplier ran a charity discount special offer off 10sqr meter free if we buy 28sqm at discount price of £8,328 saving over £2K. IFEELQ has purchased them on behalf of D2L as offer closed 12[th] September 2021 which was inadequate time to put the full proposal together for Trustees as the discussions with the landowner progressed. The idea was to use

Trustees: Simon Bennett, Debra Logan, Guy Evans, Robin Evans

-
£2k out of funds donated over the last 3years
-
£6.3k from targeted fund raising
Applications to secure planning permission on the land to convert to a Farm Business Tenancy (FBT) and to build facilities are looked at more favourably by planners where they are submitted by charities and the benefitting community is wider than that of a single business. The security of tenure that an FBT provides combined with the charitable status also opens up more funding opportunities. This looked like a good fit and mutual opportunity for both Tony Grubb the landlord, as well the future security of Dare to Live.
Dare to Live Research Project
Covid has impacted plans on all D2L research projects which are currently on hold, as all supporting research staff are time restricted due working long hours to adapt their university courses to meet the student’s education and exam needs.
Dare to Live Veterans 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.
The 3-day programme for 9 veterans, the 3 x 1-day programmes for veteran’s and their partners and the 6 x 2-hour online follow up support programmes have all been successfully delivered. Sun is currently writing up the service evaluation and a series of case studies for the Armed Forces Covenant Trust and these will be used as part of the IFEEL Method research.
Dare to Live Veteran Programmes – New Site
Sun has been contacted by Peter Mosse from The Association of ex-Service Drop-In Centres (ASDIC) who has offered support with funding for future Dare to Live projects when the new site is ready.
Dorinda Wolfe-Murray from First Light Trust, has allocated funds for future Dare to Live programmes when the new site is ready. Sun already works as a clinical consultant for First Light Trust and has treated several veterans since 2018.
Dare to Live has been invited to apply for further Armed Forces Covenant Trust grants when the new site is ready.
