High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radio Lollipop is a charitable organization for entertaining children in hospital. It organizes volunteers to spend time with children on a one to one basis, taking its name from the radio stations it runs in hospitals playing children's programming - part presented by children themselves. Radio Lollipop was founded in 1978 at Queen Mary's Hospital for Children in Surrey, England, at first primarily as a cable wired radio station for the 460 children in the hospital. The station made its first broadcast on 5 May 1979 the very first Radio Lollipop went on-air. Following the success of this first station in 1980 the International Year of the Child Committee provided funding to develop Radio Lollipops in other British hospitals. Over time emphasis shifted from the radio station to volunteers spending time on wards entertaining children in person, by playing games, doing arts and crafts and reading stories. However the "radio", with children's programming and often DJing, remains a central part of the charity.
