Tea for Tŷ Hafan

The basis of Conservative economics

DEAR SIR,

I am writing to you today to invite your readers to put the kettle on - and hold their very own fundraising tea party for Tŷ Hafan Children’s Hospice to mark our charity’s first 25 years in operation.

Every year Tŷ Hafan provides vital care and support for more than 350 children with life-shortening conditions and their families in our hospice in Sully and in homes and communities across Wales.

Currently this costs £5.6m per year with only 12% coming from statutory sources and, unfortunately, our running costs are only continuing to go up. Without the amazing kindness, enterprise and generosity of the Welsh public we simply would not be able to do what we do.

Readers are invited to hold their Tea for Tŷ Hafan fundraising parties at any time throughout the month of May and they can be anything from lavish to low-key – whatever suits personal preferences. Any amount your readers can raise – no matter how big or small – will go straight towards supporting children with life-shortening conditions.

Readers can hold their Tea for Tŷ Hafan parties wherever works for them, with some options being at home, in the garden, in the street, in a local hall, school, college or university or places of work.

To sign up email supportercare@ tyhafan. org or call 02920 532 255 and we’ll send readers their very own tea party pack in the post with lots of Tŷ Hafan goodies for all the enjoy. Plus our Supporter Care Team will be there every step of the way to help readers with fundraising tips, publicity materials, Gift Aid and more.

So whatever else your readers may have planned throughout the month of May, may I invite as many of them as possible to get a brew on and celebrate with some Tea for Tŷ Hafan and help some of the most vulnerable children in Wales in the process.

Thank you for your support.

Rachel Ritter Head of Fundraising, Tŷ Hafan

DEAR SIR,

There are many dishonest practices in different forms of unregulated British privately-owned Media, On-line Corporations, Advertising Agencies, Commerce, which makes it almost impossible for a child reared in Britain, to become an honest adult or voter.

The character of Mr Frank Hester, Conservative Donor of £10 million in one year, holds no surprises. What else could Conservative voters expect, in an oligarch responding and prospering on

Conservative Market Economics? Can you be so stupid as think that this was Frank’s money? If it were, do you think he would be likely to give it away? Use your brains.

We know that British citizens pay taxes in billions, to support the nationalised NHS, which brings health to the sick. You are tempting Frank.

We also know, that all Conservative politicians, ever since 1948, have always believed in detaching sections of all Public Services, paid for by taxes, Prisons, Police Laboratories, etc, etc, the NHS, by Privatisation, so that taxpayers’ money is diverted to privately-owned shareholding, on a scale of hundreds of millions of pounds. This is similar to Privatised Water and Energy.

This is not a secret. This is the whole basis of Conservative economics, on the same class basis for centuries. ‘Private prisons are owned and operated by people uninterested in British Justice, who invested money, intending to get more out.’ Money, from taxes, to fat dividends, is the only language Conservative politicians comprehend, even if Tory voters are not very bright.

We know Frank was chosen as CEO of a privatised Data section of the NHS, but do not know how many hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ money was diverted to Frank’s friends’ permission how to spend it, perhaps on Conservatism.

Right-wing Media nor voters, show no interest.
