Radio Lollipop volunteers in Bristol transformed into Easter bunnies for this season’s big giveaway. On Thursday 17th April, children from all over the hospital were treated to deliveries of goodie bags from the Lollipop team which included Easter themed crafts, crayons, colouring pages and puzzles, stickers and an even a specially themed rubber duck.

The fun continued back in the playroom with more craft activities and games which saw the kids (and volunteers) get competitive to create the best Easter egg shell. The competitions continued on the radio with Bristol Lolliboss Kate’s (aka DJ Splinter) ‘eggstravagant’ show packed full of themed jokes, songs and trivia.

Funding for this year’s Easter Giveaway was kindly raised by the UNITE Group’s head office in Bristol. Employees at the student accommodation company held an Easter themed cake sale and raffle to generate £325 for Radio Lollipop in Bristol which will be charity matched to £650.

Speaking of the event, Thursday night volunteer Holly said “it was great to see the kids getting excited over the arrival of the Easter bunnies. Everyone really enjoyed getting stuck into their goodie bags and the rubber ducks were a particularly big hit, even with the nurses!”
