“Volunteering provides you with absolutely amazing life experiences. For a start, it looks amazing on your CV, and if you are a bit shy, it will help to bring you out of your shell.
You build relationships – just one example, one old lady would come in to the shop and give me a sweet every Saturday, and that so touches me to this day, to think that she would think of me in this way."
- Lyn Hull (Retail Volunteer, Ambassador, Events and Collection Box Volunteer)

About 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.
We have supported over 1100 children since we opened in 1999.. and demand continues to grow!
We believe every child with a life-shortening illness deserves a life full of happiness and meaningful moments.
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 mission
We'll achieve our vision by providing free, specialist care and support to children and young people with life-shortening conditions and their families that meet their all-round needs.
We'll provide our life-changing services in our vibrant hospice, communities across Wales and in the homes of the families we support.
We'll also push key decision makers to do more to ensure every child and young person with a life-shortening condition in Wales has a good quality of life.
