Throughout the year, there are hundreds of fantastic fundraising events you can get involved in to support the life-changing work Tŷ Hafan do for the people of wales. Rainbow runs being the most common but this year they’ve also tried something different!
Starting on the 16th of September 2017 an art sculpture trail has magically appeared in Cardiff and its surrounding areas. This trail is there to help raise money for the children’s hospice and is set to get tails wagging across south Wales!
In short, the idea is to get yourselves and your children out and about exploring Cardiff City Centre, Cardiff Bay, Barry Island and Penarth helping the charity to find mischievous snowdogs that have been let off their leads and are scampering around on their own!
Members of the public can follow the trail for ten weeks between 16 September and 26 November 2017 by downloading the ‘Snowdogs: Tails in Wales’ app found at both the App Store and Google Play.
or for those less internet savvy can join in by following the snowdogs map which will be available from Tŷ Hafan shops, ‘Visit Cardiff’ outlets and is also downloadable from the Snowdogs: Tails in Wales website.
The dogs themselves are pretty easy to spot even without a map, while myself and Marc were walking around the city centre we bumped into 10 different sculptures (dog and puppy alike) and everyone around the city seemed to love them! Children we stopping to pet and have photos with the dogs and adults even stopped to read the tags they come with!
The trail is a great idea to raise awareness and money in a fun, family involved way and I can’t wait to go out and find them all!
Every single year Ty hafan has to raise an eye watering £4million to provide its brilliant, free services but every little helps!
Here are a few of the dogs I bumped into while out shopping this Saturday in the city centre!
