Ronald McDonald House Charities Ireland

Our Mission

We provide essential services that removes barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare.

How We Help

We believe when families are together, they manage better.

We enable families to stay close to their child for as long as they are undergoing treatment in CHI at Crumlin. Here at The Ronald McDonald House Ireland, we help families face the weight of their child’s illness together.

Families staying with us do not worry about where they’ll be sleeping that night, their next meal, where to park the car and general day to day living we take for granted when at home.

Our Ronald McDonald House

Helping families to face the weight of illness together.

Families are stronger when they are together, which helps in the healing process.

When your child is sick, you want the best care possible – even if it is hundreds of miles away. The Ronald McDonald House allows families to stay close to their child for as long as their child is undergoing treatment in Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin. Since we opened The Ronald McDonald House in November 2004 we have provided accommodation, care and support for more than 5,000+ families from all over Ireland.

The House That Love Will Build

We're moving house & we need your help!

The new Ronald McDonald House will sit at the heart of The New Children’s Hospital. The House will provide direct, immediate and easy access to the Hospital. It will have 52 bedrooms which will cater to families of every size.

This home from home will touch the lives of thousands of seriously ill children and their families for generations to come and we need your help to build it!

The Ronald McDonald House accommodates and supports 20 families of seriously ill children every night in Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin. For 20 years we have been “home” to over 5,000 families across the island of Ireland.
