Tŷ Hafan – The Family Hospice for Young Lives

Site Address: www.tyhafan.org

Ty Hafan, the Children's Hospice in Wales, is a very special place. It is located in its own grounds on the banks of the Channel at Sully, close to Barry to the west of Cardiff. It was purpose built and opened in January 1999 to provide help and support for the 300+ families, living within Wales, where one or more of the children suffer from a life-limiting illness. As this service is completely free to all the families that use Ty Hafan, it now costs over £2 million every year to operate and your help is needed.

Since 1999, Tŷ Hafan has been helping life-limited children, young people and their families make the most of the time they have left together.

Not only does Tŷ Hafan provide specialist palliative care, but it also offers a much-needed source of strength, support and short break care for the whole family. Tŷ Hafan takes its support right into the family home and is there to help these families through every step of their unimaginable journey. Tŷ Hafan’s services are completely free of charge for families in Wales that need them.

Tŷ Hafan is not part of the NHS and receives no guaranteed statutory funding. It has to raise over £3 million every year and inevitably that cost will rise. To continue to offer its unique service to families, it relies on the generosity of the public, its corporate sponsors and volunteers. To find out more how you can help, please visit www.tyhafan.org
