Hosting a Tŷ Hafan tea party
The world is your teapot when you take part in Tea for Tŷ Hafan this June!
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 June, 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.

“We’ve worked with Tŷ Hafan for a couple of years now as they were kind enough to display some of our craft display items in their window. When Llanelly House was closed after the fire Alan, shop manager of the Tŷ Hafan charity shop in Llanelli, very kindly offered us space in the shop for Hearts and Crafts to meet.
We wanted to return the kindness shown to us and decided a coffee morning in Llanelly House would be something we’d like to do. Tŷ Hafan is one of our favourite charities to raise money for. We all thoroughly enjoyed the morning and it was lovely to meet people like yourself and relatives of children who visit the hospice. It certainly gave us a better understanding of the need and how important fund raising is to the continuation of the fantastic service that Tŷ Hafan provides. We continue to make items to sell in the shop but it was fantastic to see so many people wanting to support the coffee morning.”

£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, you can light up a seriously ill child’s life with fun and laughter in a play session.
Top tips to help you host your tea party
Download your free resource pack
Download your digital resource pack which includes bunting and invites. We’re also providing a physical pack to help give your event some extra sparkle✨
Consider an entry fee
Don’t be afraid to charge entry to your event depending on its location and charge more for larger more intricate cakes.
Cakes, bakes, bread and more!
Whether you buy your treats or bake up a storm, make sure you price everything so your guests can donate. You could provide cakes, sandwiches, or bara brith...whatever takes your fancy.
Match what you raise
Ask your employer or local bank if they will match they you raise through your tea party.
Decide when and where
Decide when and where you are going to hold your tea party and how many people you would like to invite. You could host the event at your house, in your work cafeteria, in your local village hall – get creative!
Collect donations – online or in person
You can create a JustGiving page to collect any online donations, or collect money in person to pay through our online form (see below), at your local bank, using online banking or through the post.
Quizzes, raffles or competitions
Host a quiz, raffle or some kind of competition on the day to help add to the variety and raise even more funds.
