Great Ormond Street Patient Millie has raised over £1000 by holding a bake sale for Radio Lollipop!

Millie is known to the Radio Lollipop team at Great Ormond Street Hospital as she is always keen to take part in all the activities as well as being one of the first to call up for the competitions. During a recent stay in hospital Millie mentioned that she was keen to hold a cake sale in aid of Radio Lollipop!

Millie’s mum Julia emailed to say they had raised over £1000 for the charity – which is amazing! In addition The Women of St Nicholas Church in Harpenden raised another £60 through their cake sale and asked Millie who she would like the money to go to and she said Radio Lollipop!!

Thanks to Millie, her family and all those that bought the cakes! The money means we can help even more children enjoy the magic or Radio Lollipop.

Scotland’s Nike shops based in Livingston, Glasgow, Tillicoultry and Gretna played for Glory and raised £228 for Radio Lollipop, Glasgow.

Well done to Livingston who won the tournament. Thank you to all the staff at Nike for organising this fun event and donating the money to Radio Lollipop, Glasgow.

We are also pleased that Global Giving will match your funds therefore raising £456 for the children in Yorkhill Hospital.

Glasgow Station celebrated 20 years of ward visits in Yorkhill Hospital. A children’s party was won and donated to Radio Lollipop and we thought lets use this party to celebrate 20 years of visiting the wards, a fantastic achievement. The party included a magician, dj and the room decorated by The Thrill of it All. The children had a fantastic time and as a result we are looking to hold some more parties throughout the year. A big thank you to the magician, Scott Cuthbertson, the DJ from Disco-UK and of course to Tracey for organising the competition and decorating the room for all the kids and to Catherine Caughie for winning the competition and donating the party to Radio Lollipop.

Sing in the City choirs, spearheaded by singer and musician Kirsty Baird from Edinburgh, kindly opted to raise money for children in hospital as opposed to buying secret santa gifts for one another.

In doing so the choirs raised £1,250 and paid a very lovely visit to Edinburgh’s rather cosy studio recently to see how the money would help make a difference.

Radio Lollipop Edinburgh would like to thank them for generously donating their time to raising money for children in hospital.
