On the 1st July 2003 Radio Lollipop in Edinburgh will be hosting a Bond Night full of glitz and glamour at Bar 38 on George Street, Edinburgh. The aim of the evening is to raise the profile and funds for Operation Romanian Big Smile. The Operation will see 14 volunteers from Radio Lollipop in Edinburgh visit Romania to promote the benefits of play and entertainment for children whilst in hospital.

The themed event will transport guests into the sophisticated world of 007. Candlelight and a string quartet will set the scene and an offer of champagne and canapés on arrival will help get the party started. A range of entertainment will be offered throughout the evening including an auction where bids can be placed on a number of exclusive items.

Money raised from the event will help enable Radio Lollipop in Edinburgh to visit Romania in September. Volunteers currently provide care, comfort, play and entertainment services for children at the Sick Kids Hospital in Edinburgh. Volunteers want to offer these valuable skills to children in Romania. They will provide games, crafts and entertainment for children at several hospitals and orphanages in Bucharest and Brasov. By sharing these skills with hospital and orphanage staff it is hoped that Operation Romanian Big Smile will help make a lasting difference to aiding Romanian children’s recovery whilst in hospital.
