Help us keep families together

Our vision is for every child in hospital to have their families close by, and to ensure families are fully supported in our Houses.

Help us support families across the UK with children in hospital by making a donation today.

Mac House Appeal

We need your help!

We’re undertaking a major refurbishment of our largest Ronald McDonald House, Mac House, at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

In 2023, we supported 8,415 families across our 14 Houses …

who were living an average of 68 miles away from the hospital…

and stayed an average of 16 nights.

Support for families
