welcome It’s amazing to think that Cwtch magazine has been going since 2009. It’s had one or two facelifts since then, but has looked fairly similar since March 2014. So this summer, we asked a group of regular readers what you thought about Cwtch, your biannual newsletter on all things Tŷ Hafan, because after all, it’s your magazine. Cwtch is a lot of fun to put together and gives a good picture of what has happened throughout the charity over the last six months. Every time you donate to a campaign, take part in an event, buy from or donate to our shops, or volunteer anywhere in the organisation, you make a difference to the lives of Tŷ Hafan families all over Wales and here you can see how your support is put to good use. In the recent survey, we also asked how you would change Cwtch if you could. There were some interesting suggestions and, while we can’t make wholesale changes this time, over the next issue or two we will look to refresh the magazine. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy this edition of Cwtch magazine. Thank you for all you do to support Tŷ Hafan. These stories show how your support has made such a massive difference to over 1,000 children and their families since Tŷ Hafan first opened in 1999.
