There are currently 12 Ronald McDonald Houses across the UK, all just moments away from their respective children's wards, with plans for further developments well under-way. Our dedicated teams of staff and volunteers welcome families to stay for days, weeks and even years, and help them to feel as at home as possible. As an independent charity, we rely on the support and generosity of our volunteers, fundraisers and donors, and thanks to their tireless efforts the Houses are able to help over 8,000 families each year.

A variety of training opportunities are provided in the local community which focus on raising awareness and prevention. Working in partnership with a range of organisations, training is provided to vulnerable young people as well as to professionals. The Birchall Trust has been working in the local community for the last 28 years and has established an excellent reputation for its specialist knowledge and expertise. It operates from a set of shared values that ensure service users are treated with respect, understanding and compassion. The charity was founded by Christine Birchall in 1991 and was initially called the South Cumbria Rape and Abuse Service. Christine was inspired to set up the service after she watched a BBC documentary highlighting the lack of support for victims of rape and sexual abuse. Christine set about gaining qualifications in counselling and set up a local support service, running from an attic room in Kendal with £300 and a telephone contributed by British Telecom. The service was initially run by Christine supported by two volunteers. From these humble beginnings the charity has developed significantly over the years. After initially having its main base in Kendal, the charity moved to 60, Hartington Street in Barrow in 2000 where it has had its main offices and counselling rooms for the last 19 years. Following Christine’s death in 2006, the organisation decided to change its name to the Birchall Trust. This was not only to recognise Christine’s work but also to give the charity a more palatable and dignified name which was well received. In 2010 the charity expanded into North Lancashire and now has 5 counselling/therapy rooms in Barrow, 2 counselling/therapy rooms in Kendal, 1 counselling room in Lancaster and 7 counselling/therapy rooms and an office space at a Community Hub in Morecambe. |

Youth on the Move, founded in February 2016, runs after school clubs and other extra programs for 270 disadvantaged young people aged 11 – 16 years, from London's most deprived boroughs in Hackney and Haringey, of the most deprived areas in England. Our aim is to fill the gaps in educational, therapeutic, and extracurricular activities formed by their social and economic deprivation, to ensure that they can maximise their potential and develop into mature and capable young adults. Many of our young users face emotional challenges such as anxiety, stress, and anger, caused by the environmental pressures of living in poverty. We therefore orientate our extra-curricular activities to offer therapeutic skill-based outlets and have a variety of exciting programs planned. Activities include weekends away, offsite trips, a public showcase and therapy and mentoring sessions. Through this, we aim to empower the disadvantaged young people with vital life skills and inject them with a sense of pride and accomplishment to help them to believe that they have a bright future ahead of them, despite their current high levels of deprivation, lack of skills and social isolation. |
