Radio Lollipop New Zealand is driven by 240 committed volunteers, donating a minimum of 3 hours each week to hospitalised children.

Linked with radio, the activities volunteers provide are a distinctive blend of interaction and stimulation. Both a powerful and important part of a child’s stay in hospital; supporting emotional well-being, and is key to their recovery process.

We are completely self-funded. We do not receive government funding, or money from hospitals or their foundations.

Simply put, Radio Lollipop is the best medicine of all!

Gimme 5 on Givealittle Day  2 December 2025

It is an absolute privilege to spend a moment in time with children in hospital. And today, we ask for a little bit of help from you, we're asking for just a small donation. Maybe $5 and / 5 shares. Your support will help use refuel our bubble machines, create crazy craft creatures, bling out our kids in bracelets and rings, drive awesome paper plane / dramatic racing car races, and ensure children's laughter and music is heard in the hospital corridors.
