Love spending time with children? Become a volunteer for Radio Lollipop and help entertain sick children at Whangārei Hospital.
The global charitable organisation is looking for more volunteers in Whangārei to add to the seven it currently has who visit the hospital three times a week.
Radio Lollipop volunteers provide care, comfort, play and entertainment for sick children at six New Zealand hospitals.
The charity takes its name from the radio stations it runs in hospitals throughout the world. They play children's programmes — partly presented by children.
The Whangārei-based volunteers organised "Good in the Hood"— an event at Z Energy in Kamo yesterday to raise awareness about the work they do by having conversations, and dishing out pamphlets, lollipops and stickers to motorists.
