Variety, the Children's Charity
In the UK, there are 4.3 million children living in poverty. 600,000 children are both living in poverty and disabled. Variety provides practical help that makes an immediate difference to disabled and disadvantaged children and young people up to the age of 19 throughout the U.K. We provide 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. Our Access Interns Programme works with corporate partners to provide supported work experience for young people with disabilities. Our work across the UK is only made possible through the generous support of a network of donors. Please visit our website to find out how you can support our work.
