Help when it is needed most

Every child deserves the chance to play, learn and live life to the fullest.
For some families, raising a child with a disability brings lifelong challenges and unexpected costs. Essential care, therapy, or equipment can be out of reach even when it means everything to their child’s independence and wellbeing.

That’s where Variety steps in — helping to bridge the gap so every child can thrive, belong and live without limits.

Meet Huda

With help from a Variety Mobility Equipment Grant, two-year-old Huda now has a special stroller that gives her comfort, safety, and freedom. For her family, it’s meant more than mobility — it’s brought joy, dignity, and the chance to enjoy life beyond hospital walls.

Meet Cale

Sixteen-year-old Cale has always been an adventurer at heart. He’s cheeky, enjoys listening to music and loves the great outdoors. But for much of his life, the simple act of joining in with his friends and family has come with some challenges. With their application for a Variety Grant approved, Cale received his very own Adaptive Mountain Bike just in time for a summer ride with his family through the bush.

Meet Taya

When Taya’s wheelchair broke and she lost the independence she once knew, her support coordinator put her family in touch with Variety and they applied for a Variety Grant. Taya received a motorised wheelchair to assist with her day to day life.

Together, we can make sure no child is left behind.

Each year, thousands of children receive life-changing support through Variety and many more still need our help.
