Radio Lollipop Newcastle helped to raise local awareness of the charity by taking part in two major fundraising events alongside The Children’s Foundation in July and August.

The aims of the Children’s Foundation are to support research and programmes that will make a significant contribution to the health and wellbeing of children and young people.

The Yellow Brick Road Sponsored Walks provide vital funds for the charity and were well supported this year. As well as enjoying a beautiful walk around the parkland, children watched Gary Dunn put on an amusing magic show which entertained the adults too. There were also stilt walkers, a close-up magician, face-painters, air-brush tattooists and a storyteller. Walkers received fun filled goody bags at the end of the walk and balloons in all shapes and sizes and the children were able to test their artwork skills in making a banner to adorn The Children’s Foundation’s new office opening later this year.

Radio Lollipop were pleased to help make the days a sucess and hope to be working closely with The Children’s Foundation again in future.
