Ronald McDonald House Manchester opened its doors in 2012 and is home to 65 en-suite bedrooms. We welcome families whose children are receiving care at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital or St Mary’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Families travel from all over the UK—and beyond—and our House is here to make their stay a little easier and a lot warmer.
That’s where our volunteers come in. From helping out with housekeeping and admin, to hosting coffee and cake evenings or sharing special skills like hair and beauty treatments, our volunteers bring energy, kindness, and smiles into the House every day. There’s flexibility around availability, so you can volunteer in a way that works for you.
