Who we are and what we do
Our ambition is to be regarded as a trustworthy charity with an impeccable reputation; a brand that individuals and organisations want to support and be involved with. As part of our commitment to strengthening our brand, we will evaluate our values to ensure our Charity has a diverse and inclusive culture, and that families are at the heart of our decision making.
Our Vision Our vision is for every child in hospital to have their families close by, and to ensure families are fully supported in our Houses and remain actively involved in their child's care.
Our Mission Our mission is to ensure every specialist children's hospital in the UK has free, homely and supportive accommodation for families.
The Charity has been supporting families with children in hospital for over 33 years here in the UK. We currently have 13 Ronald McDonald Houses close to children's hospitals.
Our Supporters Our supporters are varied and come from all different types of backgrounds. Our founding mission partner is McDonald's, and whilst we remain an independent organisation, the Company has played an integral role in helping us raise money and establish the charity in the UK. We have been McDonald's charity of choice since 1989. The biggest gift that McDonald's and their franchisees have given us is the opportunity to collect donations from their customers, both by allowing us to place our collection boxes in their restaurants and more recently enabling customer donations through their digital ordering screens. We receive support and donations from many other large corporates, including Coca-Cola, Royal Bank of Canada, Martin Brower, Leo Burnett, The Marketing Store, Veolia and Linney Group to name a few. Corporates support us in many ways including sporting events, gardening and decorating to help make our Houses a home.
Our most grateful bank of supporters are the families who have stayed with us.
Our stories
Unexpected complications: Lilly's story
When 10-year-old Lilly was just five, an accident at a trampoline park caused her to break her leg and left her needing surgeries, including the insertion of a metal plate. On 10 May 2021, Lilly went into Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital in Cardiff, for what should have been a routine procedure to have the plate removed. However, whilst she was being anaesthetised, unexpected complications arose as Lilly’s airways closed, leaving her in a critical condition and in intensive care for several days. Thankfully, after moving from intensive care to Owl Ward, where she spent another two weeks, Lilly finally got to go home. Lilly and her mum Amy are now hoping to fundraise thousands of pounds for Ronald McDonald House Charities UK, after Amy was accommodated at the Cardiff House during Lilly’s unexpected hospital stay.
Fearing the worst: Sienna's story
When Marie’s waters broke at 24 weeks pregnant with her second child, she was fearing the worst. Doctors said Marie’s baby girl would have a 50/50 chance of survival. Two days later, Marie, from Eastbourne in East Sussex, gave birth to tiny baby Sienna at Brighton University Hospital. She weighed just 1lb 7oz. Sienna stayed in hospital for 96 days, during which time her family was accommodated at the Ronald McDonald House Brighton.
We call ourselves 'operation buddies': Noah's story Noah, from Reading in Berkshire, was just four weeks old when he was diagnosed with congenital nephrotic syndrome, a condition causing the kidneys to leak large amounts of protein into the urine. The first child of his parents Jessie and Thomas, Noah spent the first six months of his life in hospital, during which time Ronald McDonald House Southampton provided free ‘home from home’ accommodation for his family. In November 2021 baby Remy arrived, making Noah a proud big brother and just three months later, after several years of infusions and dialysis, Noah finally received a kidney transplant. Dad Thomas was his donor and they became ‘operation buddies’. Noah is now back at nursery and looking forward to starting school in September.
