A volunteer from Radio Lollipop in Newcastle has been the first person to donate online to a \u00a31m fundraising appeal to support 8 charities who will be working with sick children at the new Great North Children’s Hospital.<\/p>\n
The appeal has been set up to raise the profile of the work done by the charities and to develop one central channel for donations.<\/p>\n
Helen Hudspith, who made the donation said<\/p>\n
“I am happy to help kick off the appeal. As a volunteer at Radio Lollipop Newcastle I see how much every penny means to the children at the hospital on a daily basis. People might not realise that even pennies can make a difference. Hopefully lots of other people will join me in donating to the appeal, safe in the knowledge that all of the money raised will benefit children in our region”.<\/p>\n
