Radio Lollipop volunteers at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children are asking for your help to raise vital funds to get their station on track.

Radio Lollipop provides fantastic care, comfort and fun to children throughout the hospital with its in-house radio station and ward visits.

Children are able to get involved by requesting songs, telling jokes, conducting interviews and entering competitions.

The radio station is housed in a specially converted tube carriage, delivered by crane into the hospital and is a big hit not only with the kids, but with parents and hospital staff too.However the tube carriage is outside in the open air, so children aren’t able to join the fun when it’s raining or during cold winter evenings.

This is why the station has embarked on a project in conjunction with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity to raise money to build a brand new children's play-area based on a tube station concept.

This will be a fantastic futuristic ‘station’ to go with our tube train, featuring tiled walls that light up at night and an indicator board to announce the next song to be played! Radio Lollipop’s fundraising target is £200,000 with the total project costing just over £400,000. Subject to fundraising, the redevelopment is planned to build the ‘station’ in 2008.

Please help us make this project arrive on time! Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Radio Lollipop (UK) Limited will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support from the Radio Lollipop volunteers at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Should Radio Lollipop exceed its fundraising target, any additional funds raised will be used in the direct provision of the Radio Lollipop service to the children at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Thanks to Mary Thum and Associates architects.
