Ronald McDonald House Oxford

As of 2018 we are delighted that we will be lending our helping hand of love towards the Ronald McDonald House Oxford.
​

Ronald McDonald House - registered charity 802047 - is based within the John Radcliffe Children's Hospital, and opened as part of the hospital complex in January, 2007.  Ronald McDonald House, on the top floor of the purpose-built children's hospital, provides free 'home away from home' accommodation for families with sick children.

Many families travel from all over the United Kingdom whose babies, children and teens require specialist surgery. 

Currently, Ronald McDonald House Oxford is oversubscribed and has to turn more and more families away, due to exceeding demand than they can provide.  The current facility only has 17-bedrooms - we want to help change this!
​Annual running costs for the House total £290,000, with an average of £3,000 of donations in the form of gifts received in kind every year from supporters to save costs. 

In 2017, Ronald McDonald House and the Oxford Hospitals Charity teamed up to raise £2 million in the tenth year of the Children's Hospital - £1 million towards the cost of building a brand new Ronald McDonald House (planning permission was granted in July 2016).

Play2Give played a huge part throughout 2017 when we celebrated our own 10th Anniversary by setting about to achieve £10,000 towards the Children's Hospital as part of our own '£10k in 10' appeal.  A lot of the funds we raised in our special milestone appeal went towards the £13 million that is needed to be raised in order for the new RMH to be built on the John Radcliffe site.

Throughout 2018, we are joining forces with  Ronald McDonald House Charity and the Oxford House team to raise further money towards the huge £13million goal.  £13m is needed to be raised. Once achieved, the House will be built and situated opposite the women's centre on the John Radcliffe site.

The new Ronald McDonald House will be able to help even more families, by providing 62-bedded rooms for parents allowing even more mum's and dad's to stay nearer to their sick child, to the children's hospital just a few steps away.

"Archie underwent two open heart surgeries and spent nearly 60 days on life support! For months his life was in the balance and ours was on hold. We would have slept on the floor just to be near Archie. Instead, we were amazed to find a beautiful room waiting for us at the Ronald McDonald House. Thank you to the most supportive, loving and kind team of staff who had a sixth sense about when to give you a hug or give you space. We can't thank the Oxford team enough and will be forever grateful to them." - Andy Boon, parent, stayed at RMH Oxford

We have plans in 2018 to help Ronald McDonald House achieve this enormous goal through various events - including an It's a P2G Knockout planned for 20 May 2018.  The contest, held at Oxford Harlequins RFC, will see teams of 8-10 take part in a hilarious event based upon the hit TV gameshow, where they face and tackle a range of wacky obstacles.
