Wired for Sound
Young visitors to Radio Lollipop studios in Australia are now permanently wired for sound thanks to a generous donation from two of our supporters.
Virgin Australia and Linstol – the leading supplier of headphones to the aviation industry – have sent us 1,400 sets to distribute to our hospitals across the country.
Children now have a colourful reminder of their time on air, and bed bound patients don’t miss out either – they can also use them on their own devices.
Judging by the reaction so far, they’re a big hit with our discerning junior DJ’s and a welcome addition to our studio set-up.
For volunteers, the personal headsets mean less time spent disinfecting equipment and more time playing the music that we believe is a key component in the healing power of Radio Lollipop.
Treasure Trove of Toys
‘Tis the season for kindness and generosity, and Radio Lollipop Australia was the lucky recipient of both, thanks to our neighbours in Brisbane.
Somerville House is a school just across the road from Queensland Children’s Hospital and they have made it their mission to help make life a little bit better for young patients.
Hundreds of students have amassed a treasure trove of toys, games and crafts to help our volunteers brighten the day of children in hospital in the year ahead.
Every year level was given a different age group to buy for to ensure a broad range of gifts and prizes are available to cater to all tastes.
Under the guidance of Community Program Co-ordinator Tanja Rees, the students have selected some innovative products guaranteed to help pass long hours spent in a hospital bed.
The stash of surprises will no doubt enhance the wonderful work done by our volunteers as they continue to spread the Radio Lollipop joy in 2019.
