Ronald MacDonald House Bristol
Ronald McDonald House, Bristol is an independent charity which provides Home from Home accommodation, free of charge, to the families of critically ill children receiving care at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. When a child is very ill, they may need to travel away from home to receive the treatment that they require. Having a child who requires medical care away from home can be a very stressful experience; imagine being in a strange city, miles from home, with nowhere to sleep and without the support of your family and loved ones around you. Our aim is to keep families together during what is probably one of the most stressful times of their lives.
