our funding

It costs over £4 million each year for Tŷ Hafan to provide our specialist one-to-one care and outreach services to life-limited children, young people and their families.

Because we’re not part of the health service, we receive less than 4% in statutory funding towards this figure.

This means Tŷ Hafan and our incredible supporters currently need to raise over £4 million every year for us to continue our life-changing work.

It’s a big ask. But together, we know we will and must do it.
