Welcome to Ronald McDonald House, Alder Hey Liverpool

Since 1993 we have provided home from home accommodation for the families of seriously ill children receiving care and treatment at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. We offer support and a safe place, just a stone’s throw away from the hospital, as they experience the toughest time of their lives. 

Your continued support has helped us provide free accommodation to over 34,000 families, for over 28 years, including throughout the pandemic.

As a charity we have been working towards the long term goal of ensuring the sustainability of our home away from home for every family that needs us in the future. In a commitment to this, the Trustees of Alder Hey Family House Trust at Ronald McDonald House Alder Hey have agreed in principle to join Ronald McDonald House Charities UK and with a shared purpose we believe this is the right decision for all our families now and for the future.

With our combined experience of nearly 60 years supporting families: bringing our teams together, sharing our expertise and pooling our resources will ensure we can continue to provide a home away from home for as long as our families need one.

For our families there will be no change and we are excited about the potential developments this union will bring for ‘Mac House’.  For our loyal supporters there will be little change and we will keep you updated and let you know how you can continue to keep families together and just minutes away from their child’s hospital bed.

We are so grateful to all our donors and supporters for helping us to keep our doors open for 28 years and ask for your continued support and loyalty on this journey.  Together we will face the future in a stronger position with resources focused on new opportunities, and as always, with families at the heart of everything we do.
