Variety, the Children's Charity

Every child deserves a chance


We provide practical support that makes an immediate difference to disabled and disadvantaged youngsters, allowing them to live their best lives and reach their full potential. Through our work we ensure that no matter their circumstances, every child has access to the equipment they need and the opportunities and experiences they deserve. This support plays a key role in building self esteem, raising aspirations and facilitating positive social interactions.
