Crossbasket House

We are an independent Scottish charity who give parents and care givers a place to stay while their seriously ill child is in hospital. Children come from all over Scotland and further afield to receive treatment at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow. Many need emergency treatment and can end up very far from home for weeks or months at a time. We help keep families together by providing free, high quality accommodation, only a few minutes walk from the hospital.

We have 31 ensuite bedrooms, a large kitchen and laundry facilities. Families can eat, sleep and focus on the most important thing – the health of their child.

If you would like to be considered for a room in Crossbasket House, you must ask the hospital staff to refer you to us. Once your child has been admitted to hospital, the Clerk on the ward can complete a referral form which is then sent to us. The House staff will contact the ward to advise whether a room is/or is not available for you on this occasion. If a room is available, a check-in appointment time will be given.

We are located near the Govan Road entrance of the hospital campus. 

If arriving from Govan Road, take the entrance signposted for Car Park 2 and then the first road on the left (signposted Ronald McDonald House).
