We can give you lots of fundraising tips, talk you through all the Tŷ Hafan resources you can use, and simply provide you with lots of support whenever you need it.
Another way you can help improve the lives of the families we support is by asking your loved ones to buy you a Tŷ Hafan caring gift for your wedding, birthday or anniversary.
They range in value from £5 to £500 and are a wonderful option if you want to help children and young people with life-shortening conditions have fun, communicate and grow in confidence.

The reason I picked the Tŷ Hafan badges for our wedding favours was due to our late father, who was a supporter of Tŷ Hafan, he donated every month to the charity and then when he sadly passed away we set up a Charity fund so that all proceeds went to the charity that he had chosen which was Tŷ Hafan so when we started wedding planning it was a no brainer for us that we would choose Tŷ Hafan badges for our favours and donated money at the same time.
