Supporting Riley through his serious condition in an age-appropriate way

Riley has a serious condition which affects his lungs and means he relies on a portable oxygen tank day to day. At nine-months-old, Riley was referred to Tŷ Hafan, a children’s hospice that offers space for children and their families to have a break from their daily lives.
Thanks to your donations, BBC Children in Need fund the role of a Specialist Play Therapist who’s helped Riley to understand his condition in an age-appropriate way. The Play Therapist has been an amazing support for Riley and his family, encouraging Riley to develop his confidence and resilience, so much so that last year he climbed Pen-y- Fan peak with his rugby team mates.
