Volunteers from RBS’s Scotland Corporate Service Centre have given up their time to refurbish the Radio Lollipop studio at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh. The project has been funded by RBS who provided materials as well as their staff to complete the refurbishment of the studio.

Children often visit the Radio Lollipop studio to take part in radio shows. Now the studio has been refurbished the space is a much more welcoming and inviting place for children and Radio Lollipop volunteers to be.

Looking for a summer’s day out with a bit of a thrill? Why not take part in
a courageous event for charity. Radio Lollipop (Glasgow) is looking for brave people to join in the fun and Zip Slide over the River Clyde and raise money for children in hospital.

The event will take place on the 21st of June next to SECC and will run from 10am until the last person does the slide. As well as all that we have a live road show with our regular presenters and also live performances from a local dance group. A fun day is expected so come on down and join in with the lollipop fun.

Thanks,

30 brave individuals abseiled down Avon Gorge for Radio Lollipop to raise funds for the Bristol branch. The group included volunteers and their friends and work colleagues, some of whom wore fancy dress!!! We are glad to report that all 30 made it safely back to the ground in one piece!!!The event was a big success. Thanks to everyone who took part! And a special thank you to our Fundraiser, Jen Harris, who organised the event.

The Whacky Wednesday Team played host to a few players from the Under 20’s Broncos team. Broncos are the Brisbane based Rugby League team and this team plays each week in the Toyota Cup which is just before the A Grade team.

The Boys visited many children on the wards and were able to leave signed posters, magazine or stickers with the children as a special gift of this visit. We had some very big broncos fans – both children and parents that can’t wait to show off their picture to friends and families of their special visitor.

A huge thank-you to the players Ben, Andrew, Joel, Will, Gerard, Josh, Jarahl, Dunamis, their manager Scot and Katherine for organising this visit with the children.

Radio Lollipop wishes the team all the very best for the rest of the 2008 season and we look forward to seeing them again soon.
