The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain adopted Radio Lollipop as their official charity for their tour of Australia and New Zealand in February 2013. They kicked off their tour by delighting the Brisbane crowd with an array of toe tapping songs that not only brought the audience to its feet but inspired them to contribute to $1650 in cash donations to Radio Lollipop!

Radio Lollipop volunteers handed out brochures and collected donations at the Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne shows to raise a total of $4,500. The funds raised will contribute to the $500,000 needed relocate our services into three new hospitals that are being built in Perth, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. 

The next stop for the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain was New Zealand. We hope the crowds enjoyed their songs as much as their Down Under friends.

Our sincerest thanks to the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain who helped us raise much needed funds and spread the word about our important cause in Australia and New Zealand.
