Let me tell you a quick little bit about myself and why I think being a Radio Lollipop Volunteer for the children in Great Ormond Street Hospital is the best decision I have ever made and it feels like it was something I was always meant to do. My main occupation for years was as a telecoms engineer, fixing broken fibre cables in the street, but my real love was entertaining children and adults of all ages.  My biggest love is music, of all kinds, and I used to...]]></description><link>https://presslondon.wixsite.com/radio-lollipop/post/life-of-a-volunteer-lennypop-from-lollipop</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c18691adda444fefaee227</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Mar 2026 18:41:02 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/227f66_b93db5e4e57b426f82fe1e7be05c4369~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>presslondon</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life of A Volunteer - Bringing A Little Sheannigans To The Shift]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hello, my name is Sheannigans, well my Lollipop name that is and being a Radio Lollipop volunteer means a lot to me because it's a place where I can have fun and hopefully make a difference to everyone in the hospital.  I originally chose to volunteer because I really liked singing and I wanted to find a way to combine my passion for singing with children, because I also love children. I did a web search for opportunities like that and found Radio Lollipop.

I knew that time was the resource I could genuinely give, something small but meaningful that could create moments of joy during difficult days.  As Valentina Ballerina, my wonderfully chaotic Lollipop name, I spend my Sunday evenings visiting wards, chatting with children, playing games, and bringing silliness wherever it's allowed.

I used to watch a program, back in the day, called The Young Ones, and one of the characters was called Neil. His house mates used to pick on him, and called him Neil Neil Orange Peel, so it sort of seemed a fun name to go for.  I've been at Radio Lollipop for a year  and I must say it’s been an amazing experience so far.

My lollipop name is Dizzy, and I get to be a glimmer of joy in what can often feel like a very heavy atmosphere for children and their families. My day job is extremely emotive and involves supporting families through complex and stressful situations, so I originally chose to volunteer because I wanted to offer something completely different.

Without them we would not be able to provide care, comfort, play and entertainment to children in hospital. When the pandemic struck in 2020, no-one knew what to expect or what the future would look like when it was all over and the direct impact it would have on the charity.
