Radio Lollipop (Edinburgh) is supporting the new pyjamas campaign which is raising £15million for Scotlands new Sick Kids hospital, to be built in Edinburgh by the end of 2012.
Radio Lollipop is looking forward to the move to the new site in 2012 and to continuing its service of care, comfort, play and entertainment to the children and their families in Edinburgh.
No matter where you live in Scotland, you never know when you will need the Sick Kids. Whether it be minor surgery or a life threatening illness, the Sick Kids is world renowned for its treatment of children and young people. The money raised by new pyjamas will fund lifesaving capital equipment, research, training and support and services for patients and their families which is not part of standard NHS budgets.
The new pyjamas campaign will fund:
– a Drop In centre where families can escape the clinical environment of the wards into a friendly home from home;
– family accommodation so that children can spend the night before an operation with their families – and parents can stay close by while their child is being treated;
– access to the internet to keep children in touch with family and friends so that they dont feel isolated;
– play equipment;
– classrooms to allow children to keep up with their schoolwork.
To find out more information and how to donate go to www.newpyjamas.org or send a cheque to the new pyjamas campaign at 12a Castle terrace, Edinburgh EH1 2DP.
The new pyjamas campaign is part of the Sick Kids Friends Foundation, the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, 20 Millerfield Place, Edinburgh EH9 1LW. Scottish registered charity SCO20862
