Each year over 6,ooo families rely on Ronald McDonald House Charities UK for free accommodation to be together while their child is being treated at a specialist NHS hospital. Even during this difficult time we are still operating Houses across the UK, supported by our amazing staff.

With most of us at home, its important to keep in touch with loved ones, friends and colleagues, so we are asking people to make time each day, or whenever you can to set time aside, to maintain those all important connections and donate the amount you would normally spend on your favourite beverage - after all, filling your own kettle is a lot cheaper!

Invite your friends, family, and colleagues to join your virtual chats, or do it the old fashioned way with a good phone call!

You could include some games too, like bingo or a virtual pub quiz, or hold a creativiTEA and get crafting.

Dig out your best mug, make sure you've got some biscuits and cakes to hand, and help us to continue to support families with children in hospital.

Thank you all for your support, it means the world to us!
