Tŷ Hafan - the Hospice for Children in Wales


 

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




Volunteers at Tŷ Hafan are crucial to the running of the charity; we could not operate many areas without them. They help us raise vital funds and extend our reach by volunteering in retail shops and out in the community. Additionally, they provide much-needed support in our head office and hospice departments.

Each year, volunteers donate over 80,000 hours of their time. Without this incredible support, we would not be able to operate or extend our reach as much as we currently do. Volunteers are true ambassadors for our charity, embodying our mission and values in everything they do.

Your support as a volunteer matters immensely.
It enables us to continue providing vital services and making a difference in the lives of those who need us. 

We warmly welcome applications from individuals with disabilities, from diverse cultural backgrounds and all walks of life.
We are committed to promoting equality, diversity and equal opportunities.

Please let us know if you require any adjustments during the informal chat for your chosen role, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Whatever your reasons for volunteering, we warmly invite you to be a part of our community and to take pride in the role you play in supporting Tŷ Hafan.  

Together, we will make a difference.

About Tŷ Hafan

 

 

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

In our hospice, and in Welsh communities and family homes, we are here to care for the children and young people who need us, helping to make their short lives as full as they can be and, when the time comes, provide end-of-life care and ongoing bereavement care. Our specialist support also extends to parents, siblings and other family members, offering personalised support to give them strength, make treasured memories together and improve their quality of life.

Our ambition

When a family is caring for a child whose life will be short, they often face a daily struggle without the care and support they need. At the moment, 90% of families in Wales whose child’s life will be short are not receiving the support they need. This should not be allowed to happen.

Our ambition is that when a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own. We believe that every family should have access to the care they need through life, death and beyond. We know this is a big ambition and we know it won’t be easy, but we believe that together we can make sure that no family faces their child’s short life on their own.
