A new play area made from recycled McDonald’s Happy Meal toys has been unveiled outside the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
JLS star and dancing favourite Aston Merrygold was at the official launch of the playground, used by families staying at the site's Ronald McDonald House Manchester.
The Houses, of which there are 13 across the UK, provide free ‘home away from home’ accommodation, giving families the chance to remain close to their child whilst they are in hospital.
The location of the Houses means that families can be by their child's bedside in a matter of moments and maintain a degree of normality during what are often very difficult times.
Manchester's play area and a separate one in Birmingham which also opened this week, follow McDonald’s' donation of playgrounds to the four Ronald McDonald Houses in London in 2021.
Made from more than one million recycled Happy Meal toys, the playgrounds have been created especially for families staying at the Houses and feature an activity course, pyramid den, interactive wall and activity table.
Having raised over £100m for the charity since 1989 and helping many thousands of families, McDonald’s is its biggest supporter and the milestone comes as the fast food giant announced its bid to raise a further £1m this month, with customer collection boxes, digital giving channels and the fundraising efforts of employees and franchisees.
Aston, whose band shot to fame after taking the runner-up slot in the fifth series of The X Factor behind Alexandra Burke, had the opportunity to speak to families staying at the House in Manchester whose children are currently undergoing treatment, as well as the volunteers and nurses who work at the House.
He said: “It was amazing to see
