Bringing entertainment and engagement to hospitals
RADIO LOLLIPOP is for Hospitals
Working in Partnership
The Radio Lollipop Volunteers never forget that they are working in a clinical environment and alongside medical professionals. While Play is vital to a child's well being there will be times when it needs to take second place to the treatment and medical care.
This is why our volunteers are trained to work in partnership with the medical teams. Our Volunteers work at the bedside with the children and families, guided by the staff on duty and paying particular attention to patients as guided by members of the nursing or hospital play teams. We will always be sure that we put the child's welfare first.
Spreading Happiness
From the very beginning of Radio Lollipop it has been an ambition to provide a volunteer service in every children's hospital around the world. While this is still a long way off, the charity has expanded its services and is now working in the UK, Australia, USA, South Africa and New Zealand.
Smiles are quite literally international, and the objective is to continue spreading the happiness where ever we can.
RADIO LOLLIPOP in YOUR Hospital
You'll be amazed at the fun a live studio can bring to the hospital environment. Radio Lollipop works closely with the leadership teams in 37 hospitals across 5 countries to ensure we are able to provide the best complementary care for children through play and entertainment.

Bringing the COMMUNITY into the Hospital
From local sporting heroes to world-famous personalities, Radio Lollipop creates a wonderful connection between the community outside and children inside hospital.
Our volunteers and radio studios provide a unique bridge, bringing special guests, exciting experiences, laughter and entertainment directly to children at their bedside.
Whether it's meeting a favourite character, chatting with a sporting star or sharing a moment of fun, Radio Lollipop opens a window to the world beyond the hospital walls.
We bring the outside world in, helping children feel connected, included and part of their community, even while in hospital.
When our Volunteers go home, our service doesn't stop!
When Radio Lollipop is not broadcasting live from the hospital, we continue to provide music and entertainment through our dedicated Radio Lollipop 24/7 service, bringing a carefully curated mix of music, songs and fun stories, day and night.
We also provide LolliTots, a special radio channel created for babies and pre-school children, featuring songs, nursery rhymes and stories that encourage early development, relaxation and bonding with parents and carers.
Together, these services ensure that Radio Lollipop remains a comforting and familiar presence, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
