How we Help

Variety. Because some children are extra special.

How we HelpChildren growing up with disability, serious illness or disadvantage need help from a special charity.

That charity is Variety the Children’s Charity.

With your support, Variety gives more than a million dollars worth of goods and services a month to children in need throughout the country.

That may seem like a lot of money, but we can always give more.

You can make a difference by becoming involved with Variety, the children’s charity. You can donate money, volunteer your time, or assist in other ways so we can continue doing amazing things for those special children who urgently need our help.

Your money helps in a variety of ways.

Variety SA directly helps many individual children and families in need—providing practical and much needed grants for items like modified tricycles, electric beds, and communication devices for children who would otherwise ‘fall through the gaps’ and have nowhere else to turn. But we could do more with your help.

Thousands of children travel on Sunshine Coaches every day, with three new Sunshine Coaches added to the road in Australia every single month. But we want enough on the road to get all our special children out in the sunshine and interacting with people who care. Help us get more Sunshine Coaches on the road.

Regional and disadvantaged schools receive much needed computers as well as vital learning and play equipment. We also receive thousands of requests for vocal output devices, cochlear implants, myo-electric limbs and other technologies. With your money more special children will be able to hear, find a voice or become mobile.

Children in need in South Australia also benefit directly from Variety’s Appeal programs as well as through the Variety@Work scheme and Ladies of Variety (LOV) planned events. Variety’s core programs are separated into three categories.
