Support Offered
Variety’s mission is for children to attain their full potential regardless of ability or background and to empower them to live, laugh and learn. Variety’s work allows children to gain mobility and freedom, to get out and about in the community, be able to communicate, achieve independence and increase self-esteem, and where possible the assistance to help them be integrated into mainstream school and activities.
Variety assists those who often fall through the cracks, unable to receive Government funding or other aid.
Variety’s role is crucial in providing equipment, medical assistance, and supporting children in educational, sporting, or artistic endeavours and experiences.
Over 30,000 children and their families are directly impacted by Variety each year, through our appeals programs, our Children’s Christmas parties and variety@work. Thousands more travel on Sunshine Coaches every day and tens of thousands are treated in hospitals supported by Variety.
