This week is Children’s Week at Monash Children’s Hospital

Posted on by

This week is Children’s Week at Monash Children’s Hospital in Melbourne and Radio Lollipop is hosting a pop-up studio and playroom in the foyer of Monash Children’s Hospital every night this week.

Our first night was a hit, with lots of children stopping by for a play. We had song requests from every child who visited us and the smiles when they heard their song and their name on radio was priceless.

Adina Hotel Melbourne also donated 6 Activity Books for us to give away as competition prizes each night.
