Hosting a Tŷ Hafan tea party
The world is your teapot when you take part in Tea for Tŷ Hafan this spring!
Your tea party can be as lavish or low-key as you’d like and any amount you raise – no matter how big or small – will go straight towards supporting children in Wales with life-shortening conditions.
The venue is completely up to you, too. Here are some venue ideas that we love:
- Your home or garden
- Your street
- Your local village hall
- Your school, college or university
- Your place of work.
When you sign up, we’ll send you a tea party pack in the post with lots of Tŷ Hafan goodies for you and your guests.
If you’re not able to hold your tea party in May, don’t worry! Just let us know when you’d like to hold it, and we’ll make sure you have everything you need to make your party a success.

£5.2
million
Every year we need to raise around £5.2 million to run our world-class hospice in Wales and provide life-changing community services.
1,200
children supported
Since 1999, we’re proud to have supported almost 1,200 children. However, this is just a fraction of the children who need our help.
£50
goes a long way
If you raise £50, that’s enough to pay for an hour of music therapy for a child. A time in which special lifelong memories can be made.
Event checklist
Use our resources
Download your digital resources such as bunting and invites. We’re also providing a physical pack to help give your event some extra sparkle.
Decide when and where
Decide when and where you are going to hold your event and how many people you would like to invite. If you are planning a larger scale event in your local village hall for example then you may need to consider things such as public liability insurance, access, and a risk assessment. There is some excellent guidance available from the Chartered Institute of Fundraising which can be read by visiting: https://ciof.org.uk/events-and-training/resources/key-considerations-for-event-fundraising but please contact us if you are unsure about anything.
Entry fee?
Decide whether you are going to charge a small fee as entry.
