Ty Hafan Description

Tŷ Hafan is the hospice for children in Wales. Its services are available throughout Wales and are free to any family that needs them.
Tŷ Hafan provides specialist palliative care addressing the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of each member of the family.
The majority of Tŷ Hafan’s work is about “quality of life” rather than “end of life”. It is focused on “making the most of short and precious lives. ”
Tŷ Hafan provides care for the whole family – from diagnosis we journey with them and are there for as long as they need us. Tŷ Hafan never stops caring for the bereaved.
Tŷ Hafan is not a hospital and is very different from an adult hospice. A child and his /her family can be referred at the time of diagnosis with care and support being provided throughout the course of the child’s condition which can be for many years.
Tŷ Hafan provides support to the whole family almost anywhere, whether it is at the hospice, their own home or in hospital.
It costs more £3. 7 million every year to provide Tŷ Hafan’s services to those families that need them. Tŷ Hafan’s income is generated by public donations, fundraising and its commercial activities, principally its lottery and shops.

Did someone say it's #WorldSmileDay? These one's are pretty amazing
In this week’s #FamilyFriday, we hear about the pupils, staff and friends of Castle School in Pembrokeshire who have taken on the mammoth challenge of raising £10,000 for Tŷ Hafan this year, with a highlight being their Maiden Classic Car and Bike Run.
“The pupils wanted to choose a charity that helped other children. They are already in the process of thinking of events they can organise in the future which includes getting some of their teachers in ice baths!”
Today is #GiftAidAwarenessDay, so we wanted to highlight the importance of Gift Aid to charities . Your £10 donation could be worth £12.50 if you #GiftAidIt, so don't forget to maximise your support and generosity and TickThatBox
