Ronald McDonald House Alder Hey is located next to the world famous Alder Hey children’s hospital. We offer ‘home away from home’ accommodation to families of seriously ill children receiving care and treatment at the hospital.

Our House is the largest in Europe, with 83 bedrooms, including 15 longer stay apartments, and supports over 2,000 families a year. Families come from as far away as North Wales, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, the Isle of Man and across Merseyside and the North West.

Ronald McDonald House Alder Hey offers support and a safe place to stay for families at the toughest time in their life. We try to take the worry away from our families, so that they can concentrate on the well being of their child. Our staff are on hand 24 hours each day to assist, and our facilities are open day and night for families to use, to keep daily life as normal as possible. We have kitchens, laundry facilities and communal areas for our families, and once a week our family support and volunteers prepare a home cooked meal.

We provide our families with a warm and welcoming environment, where they can stay for as long as they need. This can be weeks, months or in some cases, even years. We can only do the work we do thanks to our supporters – the volunteers, the fundraisers, the corporate partners, all who give their time or donations to help us to help our families.

To celebrate 30 years of Ronald McDonald House Alder Hey, we are challenging #Team30 to raise £30,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities UK.
