Tŷ Hafan Children’s Hospice

Through life, death and beyond.

When a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own.

No parent ever imagines that their child’s life will be short. Sadly, this is the reality facing thousands of families in Wales. We can’t stop this happening, but we can make sure that no one in Wales lives their child’s short life alone.

Children’s Hospice Week

Right now, Tŷ Hafan is only able to reach 1 in 10 families who could benefit from our care. That means there are 9 other families like Jackie’s, who currently aren’t getting the essential support that they need.

You can help us change that.

Where would you turn?

“I can’t even begin to imagine what it would mean for my family if the support we currently receive was no longer available. Honestly, I don’t know how we’d cope. We’d be left feeling trapped and helpless, just like we were before.”

Winnie's story

Our Tŷ Hafan experience was out of this world. We left the hospice after Winnie’s death feeling lighter, but like our lives had turned backwards and we couldn’t suss out the path ahead. But whatever our path is now, we have been, and we still are so supported by Tŷ Hafan on this path.

Violet's story

Tŷ Hafan were there for us when Violet was dying, they were there for us when she died and they have been there for us since then. It’s what every parent needs when they lose their child and my heart breaks to know that not every family has that.

“I’m sharing my story because it actually breaks my heart to know that there are families like ours out there who don’t have the support that we have had or the experiences that we have had. I can’t even begin to comprehend what it would be like to go through this alone.”
