From working in one of our shops, to tending our hospice’s gardens, to helping out at a Tŷ Hafan event, find out how you can support today.
We have over 500 volunteers. Our aim is to make sure every one of them has a rewarding and enjoyable experience with us.
We asked our volunteers how they rated their volunteering experience with us. Nearly 100% said it was good or excellent.
The generosity of our volunteers saves us over an estimated £330,000 every year. Funds we can use to improve many more lives.
The time and energy you give as a volunteer really does help to provide vital care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families.
On top of this, you can significantly benefit from your volunteering role in all these different ways:
Feel proud about helping to make a short life a full life.
Develop new skills and enhance existing ones.
Meet new people and make new friends.
Improve your confidence, wellbeing and self-esteem.
Working at Ty Hafan has helped me a great deal with my anxiety to the extent that I no longer receive counselling. I work with a great bunch of people who accepted me for who I am. The staff who I have met are welcoming and so friendly. Volunteering at Ty Hafan is so peaceful and tranquil that I forget where I am, plus the feedback you get back from staff and visitors is overwhelming.
