Our famous Children’s Hospice Week party makes it’s triumphant return tomorrow! We will be slipping on the flip-flops and enjoying a beach party and making these amazing #MomentsMatter!
This lovely weather reminds us that while we are packing our suitcases for our summer holidays, Tŷ Hafan families like Bridget and Elain’s pack theirs to come to the hospice for vital short break care. They can all recharge their batteries and focus on the moments that matter! “Like most families the excitement of going on holiday for me and the girls starts when we are packing. It’s so ironic really that we live in the seaside holiday town Aberystwyth, yet Tŷ Hafan to us is our family holiday.” Visit www.tyhafan.org/childrens-hospice-week to find out how your support helps Tŷ Hafan.
Art Club is in full swing down at the hospice! The children are having a great time doing seaside crafts, like painting this lovely mermaid picture 🎨 #MomentsMatter
What are some of the things that you love to do, those little things that remind you that #MomentsMatter? We’d love to hear them this #ChildrensHospiceWeek!
We like to shout about how happy a place Tŷ Hafan is. It’s happy because families are given the time to do the things they truly enjoy and are able to concentrate on making #MomentsMatter. Families can do things that they simply can’t do at home or without the support of those they can trust, like our incredible nurses and care team.

This week is Children’s Hospice Week, the UK's only awareness raising and fundraising week for children with life-limiting conditions and the services that support them and we’ve got loads to look forward to! The pressure on the family of a child with a life-limiting condition means that often actually being a family will sadly take a back seat to their responsibilities. It is so important that places like Tŷ Hafan can be there to give the families the opportunity to just enjoy the time they have together. Tŷ Hafan is important because #MomentsMatter www.tyhafan.org
