Residents in the Vale of Glamorgan are being invited to put the kettle on - and hold their very own fundraising tea party for Tŷ Hafan Children's Hospice to mark the charity's first 25 years in operation. 

Every year Tŷ Hafan provides vital care and support for more than 350 children with life-shortening conditions and their families in the hospice in Sully and in homes and communities across Wales.  

Currently this costs £5.6m per year with only 12% coming from statutory sources and running costs are only continuing to go up.

Residents are invited to hold their Tea for Tŷ Hafan fundraising parties at any time throughout the month of May and they can be anything from lavish to low-key – whatever suits personal preferences. Any amount residents can raise – no matter how big or small – will go straight towards supporting children with life-shortening conditions. 

Readers can hold their Tea for Tŷ Hafan parties wherever works for them, with some options being at home, in the garden, in the street, in a local hall, school, college or university or places of work. 

To sign up email [email protected] or call 02920 532 255 and the hospice will send resdients their very own tea party pack in the post with lots of Tŷ Hafan goodies for all the enjoy. Plus the Supporter Care Team will be there every step of the way to help people with fundraising tips, publicity materials, Gift Aid and more.
