We want to wish our runners the best of luck - whether it’s your first time taking part or chasing a PB, we can’t wait to support throughout the day!

Radio Lollipop wouldn’t be able to RUN (no pun intended😀🏃🏼‍♀️) without support like this, and every fundraiser and donation goes towards helping make children’s time in hospital that little bit better.

This is the last push for our runners, help them and us by donating now- follow the link in our bio!

🎉 A fantastic new addition for the children and families supported by Radio Lollipop Southampton! 🎉

This week Radio Lollipop Southampton has officially launched its brand-new LolliTrollie – a specially designed mobile entertainment and sensory unit that will help bring smiles, comfort and fun to children receiving treatment at Southampton Children’s Hospital.

Costing £12,000 and made possible thanks to the incredible generosity of supporters, the LolliTrollie is packed with bubbles, disco lights, fibre optics, music, karaoke, games and sensory equipment. It allows volunteers to take play and entertainment directly to the bedside, helping children of all ages and abilities, including those with sensory needs.

For more than 32 years, the amazing volunteers at Radio Lollipop Southampton have been supporting children and families during some of their toughest moments. This latest addition will help create positive distractions, reduce anxiety and bring moments of joy to around 2,500 children every year.

A huge congratulations and thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. Here’s to many more smiles, laughter and unforgettable moments for the children and families who need them most. ❤️🎈

A royal day to remember 👑✨

Celebrating The King’s Award for Voluntary Service at Buckingham Palace was a truly unforgettable experience!
A day filled with pride, gratitude, and reflection on how far our charity has come thanks to the dedication of our amazing volunteers. To walk through the Palace and celebrate alongside so many inspiring people was incredibly special - and a moment we’ll treasure for a long time❤️

Thank you Lydia and Rachel for representing Radio Lollipop Newcastle!
