You can help Ronald McDonald House Liverpool upgrade its rooms for families using Alder Hey
5 years ago
Liverpool charity Ronald McDonald House, Alder Hey, is asking supporters to make #RoomForChange with its latest campaign.
The local charity, which enters its 27th year in 2020, is asking for support to upgrade all of their bedrooms, which accommodate over 2,000 families per year. Ronald McDonald House offers free accommodation to families with sick children who are patients at Alder Hey hospital.
The independent charity must bring in ÂŁ750,000 each year, and relies on fundraising and donations.
CEO Wendy Carson said, “our rooms our well- loved and well used by our families, but as with all family homes they need a refresh after 27 years. We are asking our supporters to help us to make the rooms even more comfortable for our families to relax in, by pledging their support for our #RoomForChange.”
Each room will cost ÂŁ5,000 to upgrade, with the refurbishment including new furniture, fixtures and fittings in each room. Support for the refurbishment has already come in from previous families who have stayed at the house, as well as some local business, who have pledged towards a room. The charity hopes to raise enough money to refurbish all of their bedrooms for families to enjoy.
We took our cameras to Ronald McDonald House  recently to get a full tour and find  out more about the incredible work that takes place there. Watch the video below.
