About our charity : Ty Hafan Ty Hafan
What would you say to the parents of a child who is expected to die in childhood? If you could offer only two words of comfort, try these … “Ty Hafan.” Ty Hafan, The Children’s Hospice in Wales provides respite, palliative and end of life care for children who suffer from conditions which mean that they will not reach adulthood and includes family support and bereavement counselling. This service is completely free to all the families that use Ty Hafan and currently costs around £2.5 million a year. Please give generously and make a difference to these children and their families.

Our personal message:

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

The recent success of Nicole Cooke has inspired 4 employees of Barclays Bank to get fit in an attempt to cycle the 27 miles from Rhydacar Leisure Centre in Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff Bay as part of the Half Taff Cycle Challenge.  They are collectivley known as The Barclays Saddle Blazers, consisting of John Union, Andy Jones, Mark Bridal and Graeme Egan.  The padded shorts have been purchased so all that remains is to raise as much money for Ty Hafan as possible, especially as Barclays will be matching £4£ all monies donated, so please sponsor us now!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ty Hafan gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for all your support
