Our mission - To provide free accommodation and support to families of children suffering illnesses that require hospital treatment in Christchurch.
Facing a serious illness is hard enough, but if you are a child and far from home, it can be confusing, frightening and lonely as well. Having family around is a must! Many families coping with a seriously ill child and trying to meet the demands of other family members also have to deal with the difficulties of staying in an unfamiliar city. It can be overwhelming. That’s where Ronald McDonald Houses help, easing some of the practical worries. By providing a home away from home in a positive, supportive environment, families can concentrate on their child’s recovery. That is why Ronald McDonald House South Island is known as ‘the house that helps to chase the clouds away’.
We are located at 33 Cashel St, Christchurch, a few minutes walk from Christchurch Public Hospital and Christchurch Womens.
