Fairwell Yorkhill, Hello RHSC!

This week marked the end of an era for Radio Lollipop Glasgow as we packed up our studio and headed to the new state of the art hospital.

As much as we are sad to leave Yorkhill, our home since 1991, we are so excited about starting this new adventure in the most amazing environment with endless facilities.

We are confident we have the resources and enthusiasm to take Radio Lollipop to the next level in Glasgow.

We would like to take this opportunity to THANK every single person who has been part of our journey from day one until now, this includes volunteers, patients, staff, sponsors, our board, and visitors. We hope you will continue to support us and join us in our new studio!!

THANK YOU!

The Governor of Queensland visits Radio Lollipop Brisbane

Radio Lollipop Brisbane was honoured to receive a visit from the Governor of Queensland, His Excellency The Honourable Paul de Jersey AC.

The Radio Lollipop team and children at the Lady Cilento Hospital were delighted to welcome him into the studio.

We put the Governor of Queensland in the studio interview chair so the children could listen in and ask him questions, here’s what we found out:

Favourite part about being the Governor of Queensland:

The Governor is often travelling across the State meeting with various community groups, mayors and business delegates, and really enjoys meeting everyday people. His favourite part of the role is getting to learn about different people, community groups and organisations.

Which exciting places have you been able to visit and who have you met?

The Governor has met Her Majesty The Queen, and also met President Obama during the G20 summit in Brisbane. He enjoys meeting and talking with the Queenslanders that he takes great pride in representing.

There’s a new Avengers movie out at the moment, who would you say is your favourite superhero?

The Governor’s a fan of Iron Man but his favourite avenger was the Incredible Hulk, as the Governor used to read about him and see him in movies when he was growing up.

And if you could have any super power, what would it be?

Being able to fly or being invisible would be great, but he believes that the ability to make people smile and be happy is a real super power (just like our Lollipop Playmakers do every shift!).

Song request for the night: ‘Let it Go’ from the movie Frozen – the kids gave this a big thumbs up!

National Volunteer Week Thank you

Radio Lollipop always loves to hear feedback about our service. During the recent National Volunteers Week in Australia, look what our Radio Lollipop volunteers received when they turned up for their shift at Radio Lollipop at Monash Children’s Hospital in Melbourne….

This is what the hospital nursing staff say about us….well done to all our volunteers, you really do make a difference.
