Tŷ Hafan

About us

Tŷ Hafan is a leading and much-loved charity that provides life-changing care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families who live in Wales.

At our welcoming and vibrant hospice in Sully, and in communities and homes across the country, we do all we can to help families enjoy time together and create precious memories.

We’re also a safe and loving haven when a child is close to the end of their life, providing comfort and expert care in a family’s darkest hours and beyond.

Put simply, we are a vital lifeline to our families. Easing their worries. Giving them hope of a brighter future. And helping them enjoy life again.

What do we mean by life-shortening?

We use the term life-shortening to describe a child not expected to live beyond 18 years of age.

Since we began in 1999, we’ve supported over 1,100 children and their families… and demand continues to grow. 

Our Vision

A Wales where every child with a life-shortening condition lives a fulfilling life, supported with the compassion and specialist care they and their family need.

Our Purpose

No family should have to face the unimaginable loss of their child alone. With children and families at the heart of all we do, we provide free care and support in our hospice and in the community, offering a lifeline throughout the child’s short life, at end of life, through bereavement and beyond.​

Our Values

We make a difference by...

• Demonstrating compassion
• Providing excellent service
• Working together
• Taking ownership

Every year Tŷ Hafan has to raise more than £4.5 million to provide its free services to families in Wales.
