Did you know that one of the founders of Ronald McDonald House Charities, Dr Audrey Evans, is an Old Badmintonian?

What an incredible legacy. We are proud to support this charity: it provides help to families when they need it most, and we know that several members of our community and their families have benefitted personally.

Several members of our staff community will be running the Bristol 10k in May, but this is the culmination of our efforts to 'go the extra mile' for this charity. We are aiming to cover over 1600km: the distance between all of the Ronald McDonald houses in the UK.

Here's what the charity has to say:

Ronald McDonald House Charities UK provides free ‘home away from home’ accommodation to families with children having treatment in hospital.

Our Houses offer much more than just a place to stay; they provide family activities, peer support, respite, and many other services. This means that families can be by their child’s bedside in a matter of moments, whilst maintaining a degree of normal life with reduced emotional and financial strain.

We help over 6,000 families each year and now, more than ever, we need your support. Thank you.
