About Us

Keeping families close, is what matters most. 

The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities Ireland is to provide a Ronald McDonald House to support families whose children are seriously ill in hospital. The Ronald McDonald House provides accommodation and a caring and supportive environment for families whose children are seriously ill and are hospitalised or undergoing medical treatment at Children’s Health Ireland, Crumlin.

The Ronald McDonald House Position Paper 2021 outlines who we are, the impact we make and where our support comes from. To find out more about our New 52-bedroom Ronald McDonald House alongside the New Children’s Hospital click here.

Our Relationship with McDonalds

McDonald’s support helps benefit Chapters around the world. From the moment the first Ronald McDonald House was opened in 1974, McDonald’s owner/operators, suppliers, employees and customers have helped RMHC provide stability and vital resources to families around the world. The generosity of time, as well as funds and in-kind services provided by the entire McDonald’s community, have helped RMHC positively impact millions of children and their families.
