Uniform Free Day is the major annual fundraising event for Radio Lollipop and an important source of revenue for their charity.

Uniform Free Day has taken place every year for the past 20 years and last year almost $94,000 was raised. Proceeds will enable Radio Lollipop to purchase books, craft and music, as well as maintaining and developing their radio program.

Transperth depots and all their bus drivers currently participate and support this event. Radio Lollipop collection tins are placed on buses and passengers are asked for a donation on the day from bus drivers who are encouraged to dress in costume.

Radio Lollipop volunteers and Transperth staff will shake tins in the CBD area, at train stations and throughout Perth.

Radio Lollipop encourages businesses and schools to participate by organising their own Uniform Free Day fundraiser.

Transperth and Radio Lollipop’s partnership has totalled more than $1 million to help improve the lives of sick children in hospital.

Radio Lollipop was created 30 years ago in the UK to help sick children in hospital; and is a unique charity which operates 365 days of the year.

Volunteers visit children in hospital and provide care, comfort, play and entertainment through one-on-one interaction and nightly radio broadcasts.

The event takes place on the 16th of March, 2016 and more information can be found at http://rlweb01.radiolollipop.org:8880/?cat=84.
