A military veteran with PTSD who also spent time in prison has set up a falconry project for people with mental health struggles. Darren Horvath from Reading said he wanted to share the "warmth" he gets from the birds with other people. After serving in the first Gulf War, aged 17, he returned home with PTSD then, after attempting suicide, he was paralysed in his right arm. He said "life got worse" when he was jailed for setting fire to two parked cars, but now he helps other vulnerable people through his Raptor Project.
