We’re excited to be the lead charity partner for the Porthcawl 10K in 2026.

Tŷ Hafan’s mission is that when a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own. Today, thousands of families in Wales face the unimaginable reality that their child will die – and 1 in 10 of those families do so without specialist care. 

The cost of delivering our care services last year was £6.6m and only 13% of those costs were covered by recurring statutory funding. And demand for our support continues to grow. 2025 saw a 19% increase in the number of new referrals to Tŷ Hafan. 

That means we rely on amazing people like you to fundraise for us. By running the Porthcawl 10K for Tŷ Hafan, you’re helping families in Wales as they face the unthinkable: their child’s short life.

£200 could pay for 8 families to create beautiful keepsakes of their child at the end of their short life.

We have 250 spaces available for this event, with discounted entry available for runners pledging to raise £150 to support our vital services.

What you will get if you choose to run for us:

• A discounted space  
• A free running vest when you hit £100 in sponsorship 
• Fundraising materials and support throughout your journey 
• A running community – join our Facebook group and group run to meet fellow runners 
• An invitation to visit the hospice 
• A post-race celebration 

Entry Fee: £8 (£5 early bird offer until mid February)

Fundraising Target: £175
