Variety, the children's charity

Who we are

In the UK there are more than 1.3 million disabled children and young people, and nearly four million children living in poverty. Variety exists to improve the lives of these children.

We provide practical, tangible help that makes an immediate difference to children and young people aged 18 and under. This includes grants for specialist disability equipment and wheelchairs that aren’t available through statutory services; adapted, accessible transport for SEND schools and other non-profit organisations through our Sunshine Coaches programme; and memorable day trips through our Great Days Out programme.
