Start fundraising
Ronald McDonald House UK helps families with children in hospital stay close by providing free accommodation just minutes from children’s hospital wards. Our Houses provide more than accommodation. We offer stability and emotional support that allow parents and carers to be active partners in care.

Story

What started as an ambitious idea is quickly becoming one of the biggest opportunities we’ve ever had to raise both awareness and income for the families we support.

At its heart, McHappy Day is about helping more families access the support our Houses provide.

Your fundraising will help families with seriously ill or injured children stay close to hospital care, at a time when being together matters most.

When a child is in hospital, families do not just want to visit — they want to stay close, be informed and remain involved in their child’s care.

By fundraising or donating, you play a direct role in strengthening the support network families rely on during the hardest moments of their lives. Your partnership helps create more space, more comfort and more moments of relief for parents who simply want to be close to their child.

Join us as we expand our reach and deepen our care. With your support, we can change the experience of thousands of families with seriously ill or injured children across the UK.
