Help keep Ollie and other kids like her safe
All kids deserve a fair go.
Variety – the Children’s Charity supports kids and families who are facing many challenges through sickness, disadvantage or living with special needs.
Our work allows kids to gain mobility, to get out and about in the community, to communicate, achieve independence and increase their self-esteem. We make sure the kids who miss out, can always join in.
Annika's Story
Annika lives with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, causing her continuous and debilitating back pain and increasingly restricted ranges of limb movement as a result of long periods spent sitting or lying.
The help Annika needed most was a specialised powered wheelchair, with a standing function to regularly move her young body, help reduce back pain and give her more confidence by providing life-altering physical therapy benefits and freedom.
Help when it’s needed most
Every child deserves the chance to be the best they can be, to get the most out of life, regardless of their ability or background.
To children and families in need, who can’t afford specialist care and equipment, and when government support isn’t available.
