    Radio Lollipop Newcastle were supported by a fantastic community choir called Heaton Voices today in the biggest shopping centre in Newcastle.  They can really sing and brought the main square to a halt with their wonderful repertoire of Christmas songs and carols – at one point they were singing a South African carol and the choir were amazed when we told them of our new RL studio in Johannesburg. A pair of passing ladies stopped in amazement to listen to this South African music – they couldn’t believe they were hearing music from their homeland and were almost moved to tears when we told them about how Radio Lollipop bring so much to sick children.  We were also approached by many people who came up to say that RL Newcastle over the years had helped them so much when they (or their children) had been in our local hospitals – they had never forgotten us.  One lady even called us “Lifesavers” – this is what makes us proud to be part of an organisation who brings so much pleasure in at times what can be difficult circumstances for not only children but parents, grandparents, family and friends.

We must never underestimate and forget what we do and how it remains in our patients and families minds.
