When a child needs specialist hospital treatment far from home, it can be a huge struggle for their family to be nearby. With your support, Ronald McDonald Houses provide not just a place to stay, but make the mighty little moments – like bedtime stories or reassuring hugs – possible.

Will you donate to help keep the doors of our houses open, and make sure children in specialist hospitals are surrounded by family, love and support?

Siblings, in particular, can feel the immense emotional burden and upheaval of having a family member in hospital and we’re here to support them in our Houses, as well as their parents and carers. 

No child should be separated from their family, especially when they’re sick.

Yet, for too many families, the reality of a sick child in hospital is a 136-mile average round trip to the hospital, mounting financial pressures, and the heartache of being separated when they need each other most.

At Ronald McDonald House Charities UK we believe families should still get to experience the joy of watching a film together on the sofa, eating breakfast with their family at the weekend, or just a big hug when they’re feeling scared or alone.

Our homes provide the relief, comfort, and connection that anxious families need. From Grab and Go food packages that keep them going through exhausting days, to play therapy that helps siblings make sense of their feelings, we’re here to create those mighty little moments that matter so deeply.

But we can’t do it alone. When a family’s world turns upside down, it takes all of us to help pick up the pieces. Will you donate today to help keep families close when it matters the most?
