On Day 2 of Children’s Hospice Week 2025 Wales’ children’s hospices Tŷ Hafan and Tŷ Gobaith are celebrating a milestone victory in their campaign for fair and sustainable funding.
Having asked all political parties to commit to a fair funding pledge for the next Senedd term (2026-2031), the Welsh Conservatives have become the first party to respond to our call for a fair and sustainable funding settlement from 2026.
A long-term funding uplift would make a real difference – helping us to reach more children with life-shortening conditions and their families, in more parts of Wales, with more choice over where and how they receive vital care.
This new commitment clearly recognises both the urgency of the situation facing vulnerable families in Wales and the value of our services.
We now urge all political parties to match this ambition and commit to funding Wales’ children’s hospices fairly. For too long, children’s hospices in Wales have been underfunded – both compared to adult services here, and to children’s services in other parts of the UK.
This is a question of fairness – and of ensuring no family is left behind.
