Ronald McDonald Houses

Ronald McDonald Houses are located in, or near, to hospitals, so that families can be close to their seriously ill children at any time of the day or night. They are open 365 days a year, and provide not only free accommodation, but also a place for families to rest, relax, cook, clean and be together that is away from the stress of the hospital ward. Where possible every bedroom has a telephone directly linked to the hospital ward. Knowing they can have direct contact with the ward should an emergency arise at any time of the day or night gives families peace of mind and helps them to relax. There are currently 14 Houses in the UK.
