For the past 30 years, Transperth has been raising funds for Radio Lollipop through our Uniform Free Day – a day of dress-up to encourage donations that go towards vital laugh support for children across WA hospitals.
Radio Lollipop is a charitable organisation that believes in the healing power of play and provides smiles and laughter to children in hospital, a time when they need it most.
Since its inception in 1995, Transperth’s Uniform Free Day has raised over $1.5 million, with all funds collected going directly to the charity.
Uniform Free Day is the primary source of funding for Radio Lollipop in WA and the donations generated each year enable volunteers to provide care, comfort, play and entertainment to children in hospital.
The Radio Lollipop broadcasting service operates live each night from Perth Children's Hospital studio and is streamed to satellite hospitals across the state. The radio is programmed around the requests of the children, who are encouraged to participate in activities, competitions and lots of games.
Lollipop stands for “Lots of Love and Laughter in Place of Pain"
