The BBC local news team came to visit Radio Lollipop in Newcastle to find out about our Children in Need grant.

They were so impressed with our work with the children that they decided to run a feature on the local news. Watch carefully to see if you can spot anyone you know!

It was another fantastic night on the wards last night with our very special guest Ranger Stacey from the Channel 10 Children’s T.V. Show “Totally Wild” returning again to visit the children.

Totally Wild is an informative and entertaining program which reflects children’s interests in the environment, sport, pet care and technology and is aimed at the 8 – 14 age group. Ranger Stacey has been on the show since it started over 15 years ago.

Ranger Stacey was a hit with the children, parents, nursing staff and volunteers with most of them recognizing her from the T.V. Ranger Stacey bought gifts from Totally Wild for every child she visited and signed photo autographs for everyone including the volunteers. Most of the children had their photo taken with Ranger Stacey which will be sent to them by Radio Lollipop in the next week.

Check out our Wacky Wednesday Team with Ranger Stacey in the Radio Lollipop playroom at the Mater Children’s Hospital.

Our thanks to Ranger Stacey, Channel 10, Radio Lollipop volunteer Jaye for organizing the visit and Radio Lollipop volunteer Shirley Murray for escorting Ranger Stacey on the wards.
