Leave a Gift in Your Will

When a child is seriously ill or injured, families don’t just visit the hospital – they want to stay. By leaving a gift in your will to Ronald McDonald House UK, you can help ensure families have a safe, welcoming place to stay while their child is in hospital, now and for generations to come.

A lasting way to support families

A gift in your will is a powerful way to reflect what matters most to you. It’s a chance to support families through some of the most difficult moments of their lives, by helping them stay together and supported during long hospital stays.

Serious illness can turn a family’s life upside down overnight. Treatment is often far from home, stays can last weeks or months, and the emotional and practical pressures quickly add up.

Our Houses offer families a place to stay near their child’s hospital – with space to rest, cook, wash clothes and regain a sense of normality. Gifts in wills help make these stays possible, ensuring families have the support they need, for as long as they need it.

By including Ronald McDonald House UK in your will, you’re helping secure the future of our Houses and services, so families can stay, cope and carry on during hospital treatment.

Gifts in wills help us provide free accommodation and essential services for families across the UK now, and in the future. 

Your gift could help us: 

  • support families during long hospital stays

  • provide welcoming, non-clinical spaces where families can rest and recharge

  • offer additional services that bring comfort, connection and relief during difficult days

  • maintain and improve our existing Houses

  • build new Houses, so more families can stay when their child needs hospital care
