Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) supports families with seriously ill children by providing free “home away from home” accommodation at hospitals across the UK, enabling families to stay close to their child and maintain a degree of normal family life.

We provide over 450 bedrooms across 15 Houses and 29 sets of Family Rooms, all in, or near, the grounds of UK hospitals and hospices. Families can stay free of charge, for as long as they need to - whether it’s for two nights or two years.

However, there is still a great deal to do. Many families still have to sleep on camp beds or in their cars to stay close to their child in hospital and RMHC is determined to help as many of these families as possible.
