About the House
The first Ronald McDonald House in the UK opened in June 1990. Twenty families can be accommodated in comfortable family rooms with the use of self-catering kitchens, sitting rooms, laundry facilities, playroom and a peaceful garden. Most of the families that stay at the House have children receiving treatment at the Evelina Children’s Hospital. The Evelina Family Trust, which is a registered charity, manages the day-to-day running of the Ronald McDonald House and meets the ongoing cost of the House.
