Welcome to this special Ty Hafan newsletter, commemoratingour 10 years of providing palliative care for the children ofWales. Our children’s hospice has been described as one ofthe jewels in the crown of Wales and rightly so because it wasbuilt by the people of Wales and for the people of Wales.

The highlight of the last 10 years has to be that we havehad the privilege of meeting 300 children and their families,all with differing needs. The vision of our founder, SuzanneGoodall, and the purpose for which my predecessors workedso hard to achieve, has not only materialised but hasflourished and is growing stronger than ever, reaching out tomore and more children.

Our aim for the next ten years, and beyond, is tobuild on our sound foundations to ensure thatthe children, young people and familieswho need our services and supportalways have somewhere to turn to.

Ty Hafan – providing care,being there.

Croeso i’r rhifyn arbennig hwn o gylchlythyr Ty Hafan sy’ndathlu ein 10 mlynedd o ddarparu gofal lliniarol i blantCymru. Mae ein hosbis i blant wedi’i disgrifio fel un oberlau ein gwlad, sy’n addas iawn o gofio ei bod wedi eihadeiladu gan bobl Cymru ar gyfer pobl Cymru.

Heb os nac oni bai, cael y pleser o gwrdd â 300 o blanta’u teuluoedd a’u hanghenion unigryw fu uchafbwynt y 10mlynedd diwethaf. Mae gweledigaeth ein sylfaenydd,Suzanne Goodall, wedi’i gyflawni yn ogystal â’r nod ygweithiodd fy rhagflaenwyr mor ddiflino tuag ato. Erbynhyn, mae’r nod hwn nid yn unig wedi’i wireddu, mae’ndatblygu’n gryfach nag erioed ac yn cyrraedd nifer

ar gael bob amser ar gyfer plant, poblifanc a theuluoedd sydd angen ein

gwasanaethau a’n cefnogaeth.

Ty Hafan – darparu gofal,bod yno.



welcome croeso

Ray Hurcombe, Chief Executive, Ty Hafan • Prif Weithredwr, Ty Hafan.

Suzanne Goodall, Ty Hafan’s founder, is a very special lady.

If it wasn’t for her, and her dream, Ty Hafan would not exist today.And all the families in Wales who have passed through its doorssince it opened in 1999 would not have experienced the love, careand support that are at the very core of the charity.

Suzanne’s dream began back in 1988 when she had just retiredand was looking for a way to fill her time. A friend told her abouther own experiences volunteering at a children’s hospice inYorkshire. At the time, there were just two such establishments inEngland and no provision at all in Wales. Suzanne discoveredthat there were many families in Wales whose children hadlife-limiting conditions. These special families were coping withthis devastating and heartbreaking situation alone, havingnowhere to turn to for real help.

“Everyone has had defining moments in their lives when they feelthey have experienced an emotional earthquake that has

transformed their familiar landscape tosomething strange and forbidding –

with no signposts to follow. Thisexperience is obviously

one that our specialfamilies know very

well indeed”.

The dream had begun and Suzanne made it her mission to raisethe money to build the first children’s hospice in Wales. With theenthusiastic support of the people of Wales, she achieved herdream when Ty Hafan opened in 1999. The hospice has hadsome notable support along the way. Special thanks must go to:

Arfon Haines-DaviesDiana, Princess of Wales

Julian Hodge BankLord Lieutentant – Norman Lloyd Edwards

Lord TonypandyLlandough NHS Trust

Nigel Arnold – ArchitectGeldards SolicitorsSouth Wales Echo

But most of all we thank all the donors, supporters, FriendsGroups and volunteers who have worked so hard to make this

dream come true. They continue to ensure that Ty Hafan isthere for its children, young people and their families.

Suzanne received the MBE from Her Majesty theQueen in 2003. But her biggest reward comes

when she meets the familiesat Ty Hafan:

“Mostly they are overwhelmingly warm,congratulatory and thankful. I could notask for anything more than that. Let’s befair I had the dream, but so many, manypeople have delivered the goods”.

the dream

Mae Suzanne Goodall, sylfaenydd Ty Hafan, yn fenywarbennig iawn.

Hebddi hi a’i breuddwyd, ni fyddai Ty Hafan yn bodoli heddiw, acni fyddai’r holl deuluoedd sydd wedi dod drwy ei ddrysau ers eiagor ym 1999 wedi derbyn y cariad, y gofal a’r gefnogaeth syddwrth wraidd yr elusen.

Dechreuodd breuddwyd Suzanne yn ôl ym 1988. Roedd hinewydd ymddeol ac yn chwilio am rywbeth i’w wneud i lenwi eihamser. Soniodd ei ffrind wrthi am ei phrofiadau’n gwirfoddolimewn hosbis i blant yn Swydd Efrog. Bryd hynny, dim ond dausefydliad o’r fath oedd ar gael yn Lloegr, ac nid oedd darpariaetho gwbl yng Nghymru. Sylweddolodd Suzanne fod gan nifer odeuluoedd yng Nghymru blant â salwch a oedd yn cyfyngu ar eubywydau. Roedd y teuluoedd arbennig hyn yn ymdopi â’r sefyllfaofnadwy a thorcalonnus hon ar eu pennau eu hunain heb unmani droi am gymorth go iawn.

“Mae pawb wedi bod drwy adegau tyngedfennol yn eu bywydaupan maent yn teimlo eu bod wedi dioddef daeargryn emosiynolsydd wedi trawsnewid eu bywydau arferol yn rhywbeth rhyfeddac annymunol - heb wybod at bwy i droi. Yn amlwg, mae hwn ynbrofiad sy’n hynod gyfarwydd i’n teuluoedd arbennig”.Roedd y freuddwyd wedi dechrau ac fe benderfynodd Suzanne ybyddai hi’n casglu’r arian i adeiladu’r hosbis gyntaf i blant yngNghymru. Gyda chymorth brwdfrydig pobl Cymru, fe wireddodd eibreuddwyd pan agorwyd Ty Hafan ym 1999.

Mae’r hosbis wedi derbyn cryn gefnogaeth ar hyd y daith a rhaiddiolch yn arbennig i:

Arfon Haines-DaviesDiana, Tywysoges Cymru

Banc Julian HodgeArglwydd Raglaw – Norman Lloyd Edwards

Arglwydd TonypandyYmddiriedolaeth GIG Llandochau

Nigel Arnold – PensaerCyfreithwyr Geldards

South Wales Echo

Ond yn bennaf oll, rydym yn ddiolchgar i’r holl noddwyr,cefnogwyr, Grwpiau Cyfeillion a gwirfoddolwyr am weithio morgaled i wireddu’r freuddwyd hon. Maent yn parhau i ofalu bodTy Hafan yno ar gyfer ei blant, ei bobl ifanc a’u teuluoedd.

Derbyniodd Suzanne MBE oddi wrth Ei Mawrhydi’r Frenhinesyn 2003, ond iddi hi, does dim byd gwell na chwrdd â’rteuluoedd yn Nhy Hafan:

“Ar y cyfan, maent yn hynod dwymgalon a diolchgar ac yn einllongyfarch o waelod calon. Ni allwn ofyn am fwy na hynny. I fodyn deg, er mai fi gafodd y freuddwyd, mae cymaint o bobl eraillwedi ei gwireddu”.

Jacob Farriday has been coming to Ty Hafan since it opened tenyears ago. One of seven children, Jacob was born affected by theherpes simplex virus and also suffers from the conditionencephalopathy which is a brain disorder and means that he hasprofound learning difficulties, development delay and is epileptic.

Although Jacob cannot talk, he communicates with Ty Hafan staffwith smiles, groans and grumbles. He uses a wheelchair to getaround and, because he’s growing so fast and has spinal rods, heneeds to be hoisted from place to place. Jacob loves the companyof people. He loves hustle and bustle. He loves noise (not suddennoises though) and he loves music. He loves his Ty Hafan link nurseTony singing to him (well, he laughs!). At the hospice, Jacob enjoysthe multi-sensory room and toys which he can play with by operatingswitches. He’s also a water baby, he loves a bath and spending timein our Jacuzzi.

Because Jacob has been coming to Ty Hafan regularly since hewas little, he has got to know hospice staff very well and has

made friends with everyone. He has come for holiday stays andto recover after major surgery. Ty Hafan always keeps a room

free for emergency cases – once Jacob came to stay foremergency respite care when his Mum had broken her

ankle and couldn’t look after him without this help.

Jacob loves his family and his siblings dote on him.However his six brothers and sisters have their own

friends, their own schoolwork, their own hobbies,so Jacob, though never excluded, cannot

always be the centre of attention. When hestays at Ty Hafan he has one-to-one

attention and care from the staff, thefocus is directly on him. He gets to

choose exactly what he wants todo – be it going bowling, to

the cinema or hangingout with the other

kids. He loves it!

Jacob’s Mums StoryNeedless to say,Jacob’s Mum, Sally,had many pre-conceptions of whata children’s hospicewould be like. Butnow she refers to itas a godsend!

With seven kids, a job anda home to juggle, Sally’sdaily life is hectic to say theleast. Most of the time Jacob’scondition is stable but he is prone toepisodes of acute illness requiringhospitalization, and these episodes inevitably take their toll on Jacob,Sally and the rest of his family. He also has regular appointments forhis various health needs (sometimes up to seven in a week) andneeds an awful lot of daily care, which she gladly gives him. But shesays she hadn’t realized just how tired she was or quite how muchshe was doing until Ty Hafan gave her respite from it!

It was difficult for Sally to leave Jacob at the hospice the first time hecame to stay. He was very young and Sally was not used to beingapart from him. Often extended families stay in the hospice too but,with six young children including a brand new baby, at their homenearby, it made sense to stay at home. However, Sally came in tothe hospice every day to explain Jacob’s care to the care team. Shecontinued to spend each day at the hospice until the staff gentlyreminded her that she was entitled to a break and that, if shewanted, she could hand responsibility over completely to Ty Hafanfor a few days. It didn’t stop her phoning the hospice a number oftimes a day, every day for his first few visits, but these days Sally canleave Jacob at Ty Hafan assured he is safe, happy and cared for!

Sally has made friends with a number of other families who use thehospice, all of whom share similar experiences. Sally also getssupport at home from the Ty Hafan family support team. She saysshe really benefits from having someone to talk to. With such ahectic life, she really values having someone to run ideas past,someone to ask for advice and someone to reassure her.

Ty Hafan is now a part of family life. From initial reluctance torefer him, then doubts over leaving him, Sally now knows

how much she, Jacob and the whole familybenefit from the service.

jacob’s story



Mae Jacob Farriday wedi bod yn dod i D y Hafan ers iddo agorddeng mlynedd yn ôl. Mae Jacob yn un o saith o blant, ac fe’i ganedyn dioddef o’r feirws herpes simplecs yn ogystal â’r cyflwrenceffelopathi, sef anhwylder ar yr ymennydd sy’n golygu bodganddo anawsterau dysgu dwys, oedi datblygiadol ac epilepsi.

Er nad yw Jacob yn gallu siarad, mae’n cyfathrebu â staff Ty Hafantrwy wenu, griddfan a murmur. Mae’n defnyddio cadair olwyn i symudo gwmpas ac am ei fod yn tyfu mor gyflym a bod ganddo rodenni ynei gefn, mae angen defnyddio teclyn i’w godi o un lle i’r llall. MaeJacob wrth ei fodd yng nghwmni pobl. Mae’n dwlu ar ffair a ffwndwr.Mae’n hoffi swn (ond nid synau sydyn) ac mae’n dwlu ar gerddoriaeth.Mae wrth ei fodd pan fydd ei nyrs gyswllt yn Nhy Hafan, Tony, yn canuiddo (wel, mae’n chwerthin!). Yn yr hosbis, mae Jacob yn mwynhau’rystafell amlsynhwyraidd a theganau y gall chwarae â hwy drwyweithredu switshis. Mae hefyd yn hoffi dwr, ac mae’n dwlu cael bath athreulio amser yn ein Jacuzzi.

Gan fod Jacob wedi bod yn dod i Dy Hafan yn rheolaidd ers ei fod ynblentyn bach, mae wedi dod i adnabod staff yr hosbis yn dda iawnac wedi gwneud ffrindiau gyda phawb. Mae wedi bod yn dod i arosam wyliau ac i wella ar ôl llawdriniaeth fawr. Mae Ty Hafan bobamser yn cadw ystafell yn wag ar gyfer achosion brys – daeth Jacobi aros ar gyfer gofal seibiant brys unwaith pan dorrodd ei Fam eimigwrn ac ni allai ofalu amdano heb y cymorth hwn.

Mae Jacob yn caru ei deulu ac mae ei frodyr a’i chwiorydd yngwirioni arno. Fodd bynnag, mae gan ei chwe brawd a chwaer euffrindiau eu hunain, eu gwaith ysgol a’u hobïau, ac felly nid yw Jacobyn gallu cael yr holl sylw bob amser, er na chaiff ei eithrio fyth. Panfydd yn aros yn Nhy Hafan mae’n cael sylw a gofal un i un gan ystaff, sy’n golygu bod yr holl sylw arno ef. Mae’n cael dewis yn unionyr hyn y mae’n dymuno ei wneud – boed hynny’n mynd i fowlio,mynd i’r sinema neu gymdeithasu â’r plant eraill. Mae e wrth ei fodd!

Stori Mam JacobYn amlwg, roedd gan Sally, Mam Jacob, syniadau ymlaen llawynglyn â sut le fyddai hosbis i blant. Ond ‘bendith’ yw ei syniadohono erbyn hyn!

Gyda saith o blant, swydd a chartref i ymdopi â hwy, maebywyd bob dydd Sally yn brysur iawn a dweud y lleiaf. Maecyflwr Jacob yn sefydlog y rhan fwyaf o’r amser, ond mae’ntueddu i gael pyliau o salwch difrifol sy’n golygu bod angeniddo aros yn yr ysbyty, ac mae’n anochel bod y pyliau hynyn effeithio ar Jacob, Sally a gweddill y teulu. Maeganddo hefyd apwyntiadau rheolaidd argyfer ei anghenion iechydamrywiol (weithiau

hyd at saith mewn wythnos) ac mae angen llawer iawn o ofal arnobob dydd, a roddir iddo’n barod iawn gan Sally. Ond mae hi’ndweud nad oedd hi’n sylweddoli pa mor flinedig yr oedd hi nachymaint yr oedd hi’n ei wneud tan i Dy Hafan roi seibiant iddi!

Roedd hi’n anodd i Sally adael Jacob yn yr hosbis y tro cyntaf ydaeth iaros yma. Roedd yn ifanc iawn ac nid oedd Sally’n gyfarwydd â bod iffwrdd oddi wrtho. Yn aml, mae teuluoedd estynedig yn aros yn yrhosbis hefyd, ond gyda chwech o blant ifanc, gan gynnwys babannewydd, yn eu cartref gerllaw, roedd yn gwneud synnwyr iddi arosgartref. Fodd bynnag, daeth Sally i’r hosbis bob dydd i esbonio gofalJacob i’r tîm gofal. Parhaodd i dreulio bob dydd yn yr hosbis tan i’rstaff ei hatgoffa’n garedig bod ganddi hawl i gael seibiant, a phebyddai’n dymuno gwneud hynny, y gallai drosglwyddo’r cyfrifoldebyn llwyr i Dy Hafan am ychydig ddiwrnodau. Nid oedd hynny’n eihatal rhag ffonio’r hosbis sawl gwaith y dydd, bob dydd yn ystodei ymweliadau cyntaf, ond erbyn hyn gall Sally adael Jacob ynNhy Hafan gan deimlo’n sicr ei fod yn ddiogel, yn hapus ac ynderbyn gofal da!

Mae Sally wedi gwneud ffrindiau gyda nifer o deuluoedd eraill sy’ndefnyddio’r hosbis, ac maen nhw i gyd yn rhannu profiadau tebyg.Mae Sally hefyd yn cael cymorth gartref gan dîm cymorth ideuluoedd Ty Hafan. Mae hi’n dweud ei bod hi’n cael llawer o fuddo gael rhywun i siarad ag ef. Gan fod ei bywyd mor brysur, mae hi’nwirioneddol werthfawrogi cael rhywun i drafod syniadau gydag ef,rhywun i ofyn iddo am gyngor a rhywun i dawelu ei meddwl.

Mae Ty Hafan bellach yn rhan o fywyd y teulu. O’ihamharodrwydd i ddod ag ef ar y dechrau, ac yna amheuonynglyn â’i adael, erbyn hyn mae Sally’n gwybod cymainty mae hi ei hun, Jacob a’r teulu cyfan yn elwaar y gwasanaeth.

Back in 1998, I watched an item about a newly-built hospice onthe news and knew immediately that I wanted to work there.

When I started work at Ty Hafan, I was amazed at how far some ofthe staff had come to work there, for example England, Scotlandand even Dubai! Listening to everyone’s background andexperiences, it became clear that they were wonderful characters,full of dedication and enthusiasm. I had to pinch myself to believe Iwas sitting amongst them. I felt so very proud.

Ten years later and I still feel that sense of pride when I talk about mywork at the hospice. I work with the most caring team; we havebeen through so much together. I remember breaking my heartwhen the first child, a little girl, died. We all thought we’d never getthrough what was a tremendously sad time for us but, eventually, wedid. We had to, there are so many families needing our services.People often ask me if, ten years on, it gets any easier for me. Theanswer is always the same: “no”. It doesn’t get any easier but youdo gain experience in coping which helps you to steer yourself andyour team through the sad times.

But it’s not always sad. I have had so many wonderful experiences atthe hospice. There is nothing we wouldn’t do to raise a smile. One

day, we decided to have a wedding, complete with bride, groom,bridesmaids, mother of the bride and wedding cake! The

children loved it. We’ve buried time capsules, held our ownversion of Ready Steady Cook and taken the children

camping, to theme parks, zoos, gigs and to matches. Weare always dressing up. In the past ten years, I have

been a cowgirl, a fairy, a shepherd, a sheep, amedieval queen, an army cadet, a snowman, a

pirate, a Christmas present, a Christmas treeand a cracker!

Over the years, I have been veryprivileged to spend time with the

most beautiful children and themost amazing families. They

have taught me so muchand my life is all the

more colourful forhaving known

them.

Yn ôl ym 1998, gwyliais eitem ar ynewyddion am hosbis a oedd newydd eihadeiladu, a gwyddwn ar unwaith fy modeisiau gweithio yno. Pan ddechreuais weithio yn Nhy Hafan,synnais ar y pellter yr oedd rhai aelodauo staff wedi ei deithio i ddod i yno, erenghraifft, o Loegr, yr Alban, a hyd ynoed Dubai! Wrth wrando ar hanes cefndira phrofiadau pawb, daeth yn amlwg i mieu bod yn gymeriadau rhyfeddol - yn llawnymroddiad a brwdfrydedd. Roedd yn rhaid i mibinsio fy hun er mwyn credu fy mod yn eistedd yneu mysg. Roeddwn yn teimlo’n falch iawn. Rwyf yn dal i deimlo’r un balchder pan fyddaf yn sôn am fyngwaith yn yr hosbis, ddeng mlynedd yn ddiweddarach. Rwyf yngweithio gyda’r tîm mwyaf gofalgar; rydym wedi bod trwygymaint gyda’n gilydd. Rwyf yn cofio torri fy nghalon pan fu farw’rplentyn cyntaf, merch fach. Roeddem i gyd yn meddwl na fyddemyn gallu ymdopi â’r hyn a oedd yn adeg drist ddychrynllyd i ni,ond ymhen amser, fe ddysgom ni ymdopi. Roedd yn rhaid i ni;mae angen ein gwasanaethau ar gymaint o deuluoedd. Maepobl yn gofyn yn aml a yw pethau’n dod yn haws i mi, ddengmlynedd yn ddiweddarach. Yr un yw’r ateb bob tro: ‘nac ydynt”.Nid yw pethau’n dod yn haws ond yr ydych yn ennill profiad wrthymdopi, ac y mae hyn yn eich helpu i lywio eich hun a’ch tîmdrwy’r amseroedd trist. Ond nid yw bob amser yn drist. Rwyf wedi cael cymaint obrofiadau rhyfeddol yn yr hosbis. Nid oes dim na fyddem yn eiwneud i godi gwên. Un diwrnod, penderfynom gael priodas, gangynnwys priodferch, priodfab, morynion priodas, mam ybriodferch a theisen briodas! Roedd y plant wrth eu boddau.Rydym wedi claddu capsiwlau amser, cynnal ein fersiwn einhunain o ‘Ready, Steady Cook’ ac wedi mynd â’r plant i wersylla, ibarciau thema, y sw, gigiau a gemau. Rydym yn gwisgo dilladffansi trwy’r amser. Yn ystod y deng mlynedd diwethaf, rwyf wedibod yn gowboi, tylwythen deg, bugail, dafad, brenhinesganoloesol, cadlances, dyn eira, morleidr, anrheg Nadolig,coeden Nadolig ac yn gracer! Yn ystod y blynyddoedd a aeth heibio, mae wedi bod yn fraint

fawr i mi dreulio amser gyda’r plant mwyaf hyfryd a’rteuluoedd mwyaf rhyfeddol. Maent wedi dysgu

cymaint i mi, ac y mae fy mywyd cymaintyn fwy lliwgar o fod wedi

eu hadnabod.

Lindsay Clarke has also worked within Ty Hafan since it first opened.I remember our nervous excitement and anticipation as wegreeted our first families. At the time, there were just eightnurses and twelve care team members, one play specialist andone family support officer. With this small team, we were ableto look after four children, and their families, between Mondaysand Fridays. Over the years, more and more families have come to us for helpand support. Our staff numbers have grown to meet these needsand we now have more than fifty working in the Care team, eightin Therapeutic Services and seven in the Family Support Team. Weare open every day and can have up to ten children (and theirfamilies) staying with us at any one time. We also keep in touchwith the families in their own homes – offering support withpractical issues and organising fun activities to give the childrenand their families a well-earned break. I began my career in Ty Hafan as a shift leader on the CareTeam. Ten years on, I am now the Clinical DevelopmentFacilitator, responsible for organising the training anddevelopment of our clinical staff and students. There’s been somany changes, but the reason I joined ten years ago wasreinforced only recently when sadly a child, who had been

coming to Ty Hafan since it opened,died at the hospice. I feel aweat

the inner strength in times ofadversity of the families

we meet and humblewhen I compare my

trifling woes to theirtragedy of losing ason or daughter inchildhood. I feelprivileged to beable to work with,and offer a littlesupport to, theseexceptional families.

Mae Lindsay Clarke hefyd wedi bod yn gweithio yn Ty Hafan ersiddo agor am y tro cyntaf. Rwyf yn cofio’r cyffro a’r disgwyl nerfus yr oeddem yn ei deimlowrth i ni gyfarch ein teuluoedd cyntaf. Ar yr adeg honno, dim ondwyth nyrs, deuddeg aelod o’r tîm gofal, un arbenigwr chwarae acun swyddog cymorth i deuluoedd a oedd gennym. Gyda’r tîmbychan hwn, yr oeddem yn gallu gofalu am bedwar o blant a’uteuluoedd, o ddydd Llun i ddydd Gwener. Yn ystod y blynyddoedd a aeth heibio, mae llawer mwy odeuluoedd wedi bod yn dod atom am gymorth a chefnogaeth.Mae nifer yr aelodau o staff wedi cynyddu i fodloni’r anghenionhyn, a bellach, y mae gennym fwy na phum deg o bobl yngweithio yn y Tîm Gofal, wyth yn y Gwasanaethau Therapiwtig asaith yn y Tîm Cymorth i Deuluoedd. Rydym ar agor bob dydd, achaiff hyd at ddeg o blant, ynghyd â’u teuluoedd, aros gyda ni arunrhyw un adeg.

It takes £2.5 million a year to provide the care and support forour families which equates to almost £5,000 per bed per year.Some people would think that raising that much money was a bitdaunting! But we consider it a real challenge and never cease tobe amazed at the dedication, ingenuity and enthusiasm shownby our supporters out in the community. Over the years ourfundraisers have spread the word, inspiring groups, schools andbusinesses to support us in so many ways. The results varyenormously but every effort is valued and appreciated, such as:

£1360 in lieu of presents for a 60th birthday£194 for a sponsored run on a running machine£303 from a Carol Concert£173 from a Race Night£38 from a sponsored sing£360 from a non-uniform day

Why not turn something you enjoy doinginto a fundraiser? Run, ride, sail, bake, read,clean - and help our children make the most of their short lives.

There is a lot going on at Ty Hafan. We need to keep busy raisingmoney all year round because families need our help all yearround. We also want to be sure that we have enough money tomake a commitment to every child that comes to us: we want topromise them that we will be there for the whole of their shortlives, whether that is a few months or up to 19 years. We enjoyraising money and we like to make it fun, but we all do it becauseof the children.

Thank you to all our supporters – you’re the best! As for the rest –come and join us! Fundraising can be fun!

For more information on how you can help, read on to findarticles about Ty Hafan’s great lottery, charity shops and special

events. You’ll also be able to read about donating gifts in yourwill or getting your company involved in fundraising.

Ond yr ydym ni’n ei ystyried ynher go iawn, ac yr ydym bob amser yn rhyfeddu at ymroddiad,dyfeisgarwch a brwdfrydedd ein cefnogwyr allan yn y gymuned.Yn ystod y blynyddoedd a aeth heibio, mae’r bobl a fu’n codiarian ar ein rhan wedi lledaenu’r gair, gan ysbrydoli grwpiau,ysgolion a busnesau i’n cefnogi mewn cymaint o wahanol ffyrdd.Mae’r canlyniadau yn amrywio’n helaeth, ond yr ydym yn gwirwerthfawrogi pob ymdrech, megis:

Mae llawer o bethau yn digwydd yn Nhy Hafan. Mae angen i nigadw’n brysur yn codi arian drwy’r amser oherwydd bod angenein cymorth ar deuluoedd drwy gydol y flwyddyn. Mae arnomhefyd eisiau sicrhau bod gennym ddigon o arian i wneudaddewid i bob plentyn sy’n dod atom: rydym eisiau addo iddynt ybyddwn yno ar eu cyfer trwy gydol eu bywydau byr, pa un ai amychydig o fisoedd neu hyd y byddant yn 19 mlwydd oed. Rydymyn mwynhau codi arian ac rydym yn hoffi cael hwyl wrth wneudhynny, ond yr ydym i gyd yn ei wneud oherwydd y plant.

Friends of Ty Hafan are groups of supporters who arecommitted to raising money and awareness for Ty Hafan intheir local community.

The Dowlais Friends Group was originally formed in 1996 to startraising money to build the hospice. Thirteen years on and they arestill a true inspiration to everyone at Ty Hafan. Let’s hear what theyhave to say…

“In 1996, we formed the Dowlais ‘Friends of Ty Hafan’ Group tohelp raise money to build the hospice. We were one of the first ofseveral groups around Wales, formed to spread the word andraise money for Ty Hafan.

When we first heard about Ty Hafan, we were ignorant about thelack of children’s hospices and support for the families in Wales.Having been very fortunate with our lives, and our families, wewanted to give something back, offering our time and efforts to

those who had been less lucky. The great aims and objectives ofTy Hafan inspired us to give our support.

Since our group started, we’ve done all sorts of activities forthe children’s hospice, from servicing collection boxes to

marshalling at exciting fundraising events like the 5kruns and the Taff Trail bike ride. We also entered a

team in the 2004 and 2005 Three PeaksChallenge, raising a total of £6000.

In 2006, two of our group members,Tony and Bev, trekked to Base Camp

Everest and raised over £3000.Then in 2007, they trekked to

the top of Mount Toubkal inMorocco. At the moment,

they are training for

their hardest trek for Ty Hafan yet; they plan to climb the highestpeak in the Americas, Mount Aconcagua in Argentina.

We all feel a great deal of satisfaction in seeing Ty Hafancontinue to grow. We are very proud of the wonderful supportthat it offers to more and more children and their families”.

There are Friends of Ty Hafan groups across Wales. Are youinterested in forming a Friends Group or maybe joining one? If sothen please contact Helen Young on 029 20672090 or email [email protected]

Together with our professional managers and the help of threehundred great volunteers, the Ty Hafan shops have developedfrom a single store in the Valleys to fifteen shops generating aturnover of £1.2 million!

The first ever Ty Hafan shop was in Taff Street, Pontypridd. DelHuxton, who was an original member of the Treharris ‘Friends ofTy Hafan’ group and who is now a volunteer in the shop,remembers how “opening day was very special.

“The shop looked like a boutique with some beautiful items forsale. Our back room was full of donated clothes from floor toceiling – we couldn’t believe the level of support from the localpeople! I see the same customers today that came the day weopened and they still support us. I really enjoy coming to theshop; it’s like a family”.

Lyndel Lloyd has volunteered at the Talbot Green Ty Hafan shopsince its first day of trading and can’t believe the changes she

has seen over the last ten years.

“It’s entirely different now from when we first opened.Nowadays some customers don’t even know that our

shop is a charity shop. Our windows are so attractivethat they think it’s all new! It’s amazing to think that

we now take over £2,500 a week. When we firststarted it was under £1,000! There are four of us

original volunteers left at the shop, and we alllove coming here. Ty Hafan is so close to

our hearts.”

Even though the credit crunch is hittingthe high street, our shops are

performing well with the staffand volunteers helping us to

achieve sales wellabove last year.

Exciting times lie ahead for Ty Hafan’s shops as Justin Horton,retail manager explains.

“We have aspirations to expand across South Wales and be part ofeven more communities, not only raising more money but alsospreading the word about the great services that Ty Hafan provides.”

Donate your old clothes, books and bric-a-brac – or volunteeryour time!

Ty Hafan currently has shops in Aberdare, Barry, Blackwood,Caerphilly, Cardiff, Cardigan, Cwmbran, Lampeter, Maesteg,Morriston, Newport, Pontypridd, Porth, Talbot Green and Treorchy.We also sell online through Ty Hafan’s website and on eBay.

The shops are always looking for good quality items to sell andrely almost entirely on donations from the public. Next time youhave a clear-out why not pop your unwanted items into your localshop? We put out over 13,500 fresh items every week, so we needas much support as possible! You may be surprised to know thatyour pink jacket donated to the Cwmbran shop could end up inthe window of our shop in Cardigan. That’s because we sort allthe stock by season and colour before distributing it for display inthe shops. This improves the turnover of stock and makes moremoney for our children.

We’re also always on the lookout for volunteers to join our retailteam. If you’d like to find out more, please pop into your localshop and have a chat with the manager. For more information,look online at www.tyhafan.org/shop

from one to fifteen The story of our shops



Gyda’n rheolwyr proffesiynol a chymorth tri chant owirfoddolwyr gwych, mae siopau Ty Hafan wedi datblygu o fodyn un siop yn y Cymoedd i bymtheg o siopau, gan gynhyrchutrosiant o £1.2 miliwn!

Yn Stryd Taf, Pontypridd oedd ein siop Ty Hafan gyntaf erioed. MaeDel Huxton, a oedd yn aelod gwreiddiol o grwp ‘Cyfeillion Ty Hafan’Treharis, ac sydd bellach yn wirfoddolwr yn y siop, yn cofio bod ydiwrnod yr agorwyd y siop am y tro cyntaf yn un arbennig iawn:

“Roedd y siop yn edrych fel bwtîg gydag eitemau hyfryd ar werth.Roedd ein hystafell gefn ni’n llawn o ddilladau rhodd o’r llawr i’rnenfwd – allen ni ddim credu’r gefnogaeth a gafwyd gan y boblleol! Rwyf yn gweld yr un cwsmeriaid y dyddiau hyn ag a ddaethyma ar y diwrnod yr agoron ni, ac y maen nhw’n dal i’n cefnogi.Rwyf wrth fy modd yn dod i’r siop; rydyn ni fel un teulu yma”.

Mae Lyndel Lloyd wedi bod yn wirfoddolwr yn siop Ty Hafan,Tonysguboriau, ers y diwrnod cyntaf i’r siop agor, ac ni allgredu’r newidiadau y mae hi wedi eu gweld yn ystod y dengmlynedd diwethaf:

“Mae’r siop yn hollol wahanol ‘nawr i’r hyn yr oedd hi pan agoron niam y tro cyntaf. Y dyddiau hyn, dyw rhai cwsmeriaid ddim hyd ynoed yn gwybod mai siop elusen yw hi. Mae ein ffenestri ni moratyniadol fel eu bod yn meddwl bod popeth yn newydd. Mae’nrhyfeddol meddwl ein bod ni bellach yn derbyn mwy na £2,500 yrwythnos. Pan ddechreuon ni, yr oedden ni’n derbyn llai na £1,000!Mae pedwar ohonon ni, sy’n wirfoddolwyr gwreiddiol, yn dal i fod yny siop, ac rydyn ni i gyd wrth ein boddau yn dod yma. Mae TyHafan mor agos at ein calonnau.”

Er bod yr argyfwng ariannol yn effeithio ar y stryd fawr, mae einsiopau ni yn perfformio’n dda, gyda’r staff a gwirfoddolwyr ynein helpu i gyflawni gwerthiannau sy’n rhagori’n fawr ar rai yllynedd. Yn ôl Justin Horton, y rheolwr manwerthu, y mae cyfnodcyffrous o’n blaenau yn siopau Ty Hafan:

“Rydym yn gobeithio ehangu ar draws de Cymru a chael bodyn rhan o hyd yn oed fwy o gymunedau, nid yn unig yn codimwy o arian, ond hefyd yn lledaenu’r gair am y gwasanaethaugwych y mae Ty Hafan yn eu darparu.”

Rhowch eich hen ddillad, llyfrau a thrugareddau i ni – neugwirfoddolwch eich amser!

Ar hyn o bryd, y mae gan Dy Hafansiopau yn Aberdâr, Y Barri, YCoed Duon,

Caerffili, Caerdydd, Aberteifi, Cwmbrân, Llanbedr Pont Steffan,Maesteg, Treforys, Casnewydd, Pontypridd, Porth, Tonysguboriaua Threorci. Rydym hefyd yn gwerthu ar-lein drwy wefan Ty Hafanac ar ‘eBay’.

Mae’r siopau bob amser yn chwilio am eitemau o ansawdd dai’w gwerthu, ac y maent bron yn llwyrddibynnu ar roddion gan ycyhoedd. Y tro nesaf ybyddwch yn cael gwaredar bethau, beth amfynd â’r eitemau nadoes eu hangenarnoch i’r siop leol?Rydym ynarddangos mwy na13,500 o eitemauffres bob wythnos, acfelly, y mae angencymaint o gymorth âphosib arnom! Efallai ybyddech yn synnu bod eich siacedbinc a roddwyd i siop Cwmbrân yn cyrraedd ffenestr ein siop ynAberteifi. Y rheswm am hynny yw ein bod yn rhoi trefn ar yr hollstoc trwy ei didoli yn ôl y tymhorau a lliwiau cyn ei dosbarthu igael ei harddangos yn y siopau. Mae hyn yn gwella trosianty stoc ac yn codi mwy o arian ar gyfer ein plant.

Rydym hefyd bob amser yn edrych am wirfoddolwyri ymuno â’n tîm manwerthu. Os hoffech wybodmwy, byddwch cystal â galw i mewn i’chsiop leol a chael sgwrs gyda’r rheolwr.Am fwy o wybodaeth, ewch iwww.tyhafan.org/shop

I hope that this anniversary edition of our newsletter hasexplained what we have achieved throughout the ten years ofoffering care and support, and set the scene for the future. Ourvision is “a Wales where children who are expected to die inchildhood lead a full family life.”

The next ten years will take us on a path to achieving this visionand in doing so meet more and more of the special children andfamilies that don’t yet know about Ty Hafan’s services, whilstoffering support to the bereaved families who continue to need us.

This vision can only be realised with the ongoing support of thepeople of Wales who, without doubt have been so instrumental inmaking Ty Hafan what is is today. We look forward to workingalongside you all to ensure we are here for all those families inthe next ten years and beyond.
