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.
Meet Jasmyn
Jasmyn tends to be restricted to a wheelchair most of the time. The assistance of a ceiling hoist in her living space will allow her to be more mobile around the house and make sure that she receives the exercise she needs to grow, freeing her to stand up.
Jasmyn shows that no matter what difficulties she is faced with, she is able to give it a go. Her mother describes Jasmyn as someone with “Great inner strength – that blows us all away. It doesn’t matter what disability she may have – Jasmyn’s personality shines through.”
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.

Ways that we help
Mobility
Variety helps children gain independence and freedom by providing financial support for things like wheelchairs, walking frames, and portable hoists.
Medical
Variety helps families care for children with a medical condition in their own home by providing vital medical items and equipment like feeds, nappies, orthotics, seizure alarms and sensory equipment.
Schools and organisations
Variety helps schools and organisations with things like all-ability playgrounds, Liberty swings (modified for special needs), and sunshine coaches for transporting children, which can be wheelchair modified.
To children and families in need, who can’t afford specialist care and equipment, and when government support isn’t available.
