Radio Lollipop Australia Ltd (AU, 18055440232) Browse events

Radio Lollipop believes in the healing power of play - providing smiles and laughter to children at a time when they need it most. One in four children are admitted to a hospital before reaching age 14. Though some patients are short-stay, many have a recurring need for care and return repeatedly to hospital. Some who are terminally ill spend much of their short lives in hospital. Radio Lollipop gives young patients a voice and a choice during their stay. While they can't say "no" to taking their medicine or receiving treatment, they can request their favourite songs, win prizes and hear their own voices on the radio. Those activities give youngsters a haven of normality in the hospital day which in other respects is strange, different and often scary. For more information see www.radiolollipop.org

James Macready-Bryan (JMB) Foundation (AU, 76362598993) Browse events

In October 2006 James Macready-Bryan was severely assaulted, leaving him with catastrophic, permanent brain-injury. His wiry young footballer’s body did not give in – but the sharp brain that had gained him entry into a Monash University arts-law course was damaged forever. The heart-breaking reality for hundreds of young brain-injury victims – and their families – is that they are often faced with limited avenues for financial support to provide for high care needs and condemned, after leaving hospital, to nursing home beds alongside geriatrics. The JMB Foundation raises money to help these young people: providing additional services and therapists in care facilities; better and more appropriate home care services; and, most importantly, the development of new, age-appropriate residential facilities. We strongly support the DisabilityCare Scheme, designed to provide better and equal no-fault funding for all those with a disability. Help young people with acquired brain injury by supporting the JMB Foundation.
