Philanthropy

Every day, families arrive at hospital doors unsure of what comes next, but your support can ensure they never face it alone.

A philanthropic gift can really make a difference

Ronald McDonald House Charities is a national charity providing a free and welcoming place to stay, available to families with children being treated at our partnered NHS hospitals.

Making a philanthropic donation to the Ronald McDonald House Charities is a special way to help the families that we support across our fourteen houses.

With increasing demand for our free accommodation along with record numbers of day and medical passes we are needing to rely on the generosity of people now more than ever before.

It was truly our lifeline

“We moved into Ronald McDonald House Evelina London a few nights after Phoebe arrived at the hospital. It was truly our lifeline.

Parents cannot stay overnight on the intensive care unit, and once Phoebe was on the kidney ward only one parent could stay each night. Being able to stay so close to her made an enormous difference. We live more than an hour away, so the House meant we did not lose precious time travelling. When we received calls in the middle of the night, we could reach Phoebe within minutes.”

Why support Ronald McDonald House Charities

Our philanthropy team will work closely with donors to ensure that their wishes are matched as closely as possible to the priorities of the Ronald McDonald Houses. Together we can ensure that families can remain close to their children when receiving treatment, allowing parents to be on hand to comfort their children, whilst maximising the time they can spend together.

Our houses provide a home away from home, offering parents the freedom to have free accommodation near the hospital for as long as they need it, meaning they can remain close to their children. Our houses offer kitchen, laundry and lounge facilities, allowing parents the everyday necessities that many take for granted. Parents have truly valued having the opportunity to cook their child their favourite meal, wash school uniforms for siblings, or simply having a family movie night.

With your support, we can allow parents to have these moments of normality that allow them to pause and breathe.

Our commitment to you

We put the families that we serve at the heart of everything that we do, and we know that supporting the families of seriously ill children is a truly rewarding experience.

Our philanthropy team are committed to working with you, to keep you updated with the impact of your generosity, through regular communication, house tours and event invitations.

At Ronald McDonald House Charities we class a major gift to be anything above £1,000. Like you, we want to maximise the impact of each gift, ensuring that we can be there to support future generations.

Together we can support even more families going through one of the hardest times of their lives.

We’d love to hear from you
