RMH Camberwell
About the House
Ronald McDonald House Camberwell has provided free accommodation to the parents and siblings of sick children at King’s College Hospital since April 2000. Since opening, hundreds of families have passed through its doors, benefiting from the 10 private en suite bedrooms, communal living areas and children’s play area.
With your support, we can help even more families.
Due to hospital expansion plans, RMH Camberwell will relocate to a new site and open in summer 2012. The larger site will enable us to grow from a 10-bedroom House to 24 bedrooms. This means we can help even more families in need.
The relocation will cost £2.7 million to complete. We are well on our way to achieving this target, but we still have £700,000 left to raise. We’re calling on businesses and the community across London and the South East to help raise essential funds to complete the project, furnish and equip the interior, and secure vital initial running costs of the facility.
How you can help
There are lots of ways to support the relocation of RMH Camberwell. You could:
- take part in a sponsored event
- organise a fundraising event
- sponsor a room in the House
- give a gift in kind
- sign up to payroll giving

One-woman bike ride - Wednesday 31st August 2011
Kirsten Cooper will be embarking on a one-woman cycling challenge from London to Paris, 350 miles away, in September. Her motivation is spurred on by her friends, the Rowlands family, who stayed in Ronald McDonald House Camberwell. They are all fundraising to help us raise the final £700,000 to relocate the House.
