About the Charity
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.
Weʼre also a safe and loving haven when a child is close to the end of their life, providing comfort and expert care in a familyʼs 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 we do
In our hospice, communities across Wales and family homes, we provide specialist services to help children and young people with life-shortening conditions have fun, grow in confidence and feel good, both physically and mentally.
We also assess the needs of parents, siblings and other family members, before offering personalised support to give them strength, make happy memories and improve their quality of life.
However, despite our best efforts, we know only a fraction of the families who need our help are getting it. So, we raise awareness of our life-changing services and push the government to do more to help all children with life-shortening conditions and their families
in Wales.
On top of this, we pride ourselves on being a first-class charity in every aspect. This means we do our very best to deliver
exceptional supporter and volunteer experiences. We go above and beyond to be an even better employer. And we work hard to create and maintain the best possible partnerships.
Our Values
At Tŷ Hafan we make a difference by demonstrating compassion, delivering excellent service, working together and taking ownership and we expect all staff to represent our values as a core part of their role.
