We support families like yours with seriously ill children in hospital

Please text RMHC to 70480 to give £2 a month* or donate here

Sometimes the best medical care is far away from home

The reality is, parents want to be just minutes not miles away to support their child and it makes a real difference to a child, knowing their family is close by.

Ronald McDonald House Charities UK provides families like yours a ‘home away from home’ when it’s most needed.

Having somewhere to sleep, eat and rest away from the intensity of the ward makes a difference. Parents are more able to cope, which really helps their child in hospital too.

We need your help to continue our support

The impact of the coronavirus pandemic means we have lost nearly 50% of our income. Yet it still costs us £25 to support each family for one night.

Children will continue to need NHS treatment, and families will continue to need our vital service. 

Where your money goes…

We hope you will support us today

So we can keep supporting the families that need us most, making sure they are minutes not miles away from their child in hospital.

To be able to be near my family during such an awful time made all the difference. I can never thank Rachel and her team enough for what they did. I saw my children happy and spending time with their poorly brother.

Hayley, mum

        Reclaim Gift Aid

        Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you.
        A Gift Aid declaration allows Ronald McDonald House Charities to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Ronald McDonald House Charities we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost.

        Tell me more »

        By ticking the yes box I confirm that I am a UK Income or Capital Gains taxpayer and I would like Ronald McDonald House Charities UK to treat my donation, and all donations that I have made during the past four years and all future donations that I make from the date of this declaration, until I notify you otherwise, as Gift Aid donations. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

        What is Gift Aid?

        Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Ronald McDonald House Charities receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we’re entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

        All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

        The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
