## **Dare to Live Report 2023** 

## **Objectives of Dare to Live Trust** 

_“The objects of the CIO are to promote and improve the health and wellbeing of individuals suffering from depression, anxiety or the emotional and psychological effects of trauma by providing them with education, training and support”, May 2014._ 

In the past Dare to Live have specified supporting serving military, veterans and their families. Over the past 5 years there has been an increase in significant support through initiatives like Armed Forces Covenant for this client group and it is now proposed to broaden the outreach to include other client groups such as carers, teachers and first responders. 

## **Overview of 2023** 

No programmes took place in 2023. The challenges of the various site moves took it’s toll on both Mary Joy and Sun Tui, especially when the herd was split. In the late summer 2023 the owners of the site where Sun had her herd, sadly died – this meant the site had to be sold. 

Sun reached out to several possible investors from personal connections to buy the site, but no investor was forthcoming. 

By the Autumn of 2023 Sun experienced health issues and was unable to work consistently. Sun had to let her herd go – all her horses were rehomed. 

## **Dare to Live Research Project** 

All research work has been suspended until Sun is well enough to re-engage. 

## **2022 Dare to Live Trust funding applications - updates**

3. Sussex grant fund applications for new ‘For Those That Care’ programmes offer Update 2023: N/A 

## **2023 Funding Awards**

## 2. Legacy Fund £30K
