The only reason Radio Lollipop exists is to provide Care, Comfort, Play & Entertainment for sick children in hospital. The aim is to provide a consistently high standard of radio and play service for the children and their families. With the generous help of sponsors and donations, Radio Lollipop\u0092s volunteers are now spending less time fund-raising and more time on the wards.<\/p>\n
If you live or work near a Radio Lollipop hospital and would like to become involved please let us know*. We will arrange for you to be invited into the hospital to see the service we provide.<\/p>\n
All Radio Lollipop Volunteers are given a full induction course and we operate a \u0093buddy programme\u0094 so you are working with a qualified and experienced volunteer.<\/p>\n
Inductions will include your involvement in presentations\/discussions on:
\n\u0095 Understanding the need for play
\n\u0095 Radio Lollipop Standards
\n\u0095 Welcome to the World of Radio Lollipop – a practical guide<\/p>\n
You will meet existing and longer serving volunteers and, in due course, will attend further
\nmeetings covering:<\/p>\n
\u0095 Health, Safety & Fire Standards
\n\u0095 Respecting and understanding each others cultures
\n\u0095 Containing Infections & Diseases
\n\u0095 Dealing with Bereavement.<\/p>\n
*All potential volunteers need to be aware that police screening of your provided details is an essential part of our acceptance system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
