Variety Victoria

Children growing up with disability, serious illness or disadvantage need help from a special charity. That charity is Variety – the Children’s Charity. Variety works with individual families and organisations to deliver three core programs that help children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs to live, laugh and learn. Our Freedom Program provides mobility equipment, such as wheelchairs, bikes, walkers, Liberty Swings and Sunshine Coaches so children can get out and about. Our Caring for Kids Program provides essential medical equipment to help parents care for their seriously ill child at home and in hospital. Our Future Kids Program provides children with intellectual or physical disabilities the equipment to assist with learning difficulties. With no government funding, it is through the generosity of the community that enables Variety to improve the quality of life of 250,000 children a year. Variety is a national and worldwide charity that first began in Australia in 1975. In 2012, Variety provided more than $13 million in grants to Australian children, improving their quality of life.
