A message from our Director, Surjit Manger:
I donโt often share personal reflections on here, but our first McHappy Day at Colliers Wood moved me to do so.
Welcoming Bella and Phoenix to the restaurant with their parents was particularly touching. It brought back memories of when my own son was born prematurely, and how much the care, reassurance, and advice we received meant to us. Meeting the family reminded me just how lasting an impact that support can have.
The day also showed the power of the McDonaldโs brand to bring people together for a meaningful cause. When our teams, customers and communities come together, we can turn that reach into awareness, fundraising and support for Ronald McDonald House Charities UK, helping families stay close to their children when they need each other most.
I was proud to sponsor the day and even prouder of the warmth and kindness shown by Sawant, Alex, Rosa and the teams at Tonbridge,Tooting and Colliers Wood.
Thank you to everyone at RMHC UK for the work you do, and to the Ford Hunt family for spending the day with us.
Behind every fundraising event are families and stories that remind us why our support matters. This was one of those days I will remember for a long time.
