The first Code 1 Charity model was released in 1995; YCH01 1912 Ford Model T for the Australian 'Ronald McDonald's House' charity. A donation was given to the charity for each model sold. Other Code 1 charity models followed; in 1996 the YCH02 McDonald's Twin Set featured a Ford Model TT (YCH02/1) and a Ford Model A (YCH02/2); in 1997 the YCH04 Morris van was released with a livery of 'Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' (R.S.P.C.A.); in 1998 there were six more Ronald McDonald models, YCH06 to YCH11. The YCH03 was to have been a white 1912 Ford Model T decorated with red poppies 'British Legion', but it was postponed indefinitely. The YCH05 has not been issued.

The Australian Ronald McDonald Children's Charities (RMCC) support Ronald McDonald Houses and their social programmes to help sick and disabled children to live happier, healthier and productive lives. These Houses provide family accomodation for children having treatment for serious and life threatening illnesses. AUS $5.00 donation to the RMCC was made from the sale of each model.
