Makeover Mates visit Ty Gobaith hospice for children

Hi - this morning I have been to visit Ty Gobaith children's hospice which is the charity that Makeover Mates supports and helps to raise funds for. I've never been in to a hospice for children before and must admit to being very nervous beforehand. The hospice has a lovely homely atmosphere, very calm and peaceful with amazing views over the Conwy Valley and I was struck by a feeling of warmth and positiveness.
Did you know that the hospice has to raise £1,000,000 each year just to keep it's doors open and of that £1,000,000 only 3 % comes from the government. This means that the fundraising team has a very big job to do as you can imagine. We help by donating to Ty Gobaith from each party we hold. We do this in the form of a monthly donation at the end of each month when we total how many parties we've held that particular month. We are very proud of our association with the hospice and like to think that by donating from our parties that children are helping children.
Love from Dawna and Gem xx www.makeovermates.co.uk
