At Variety – the Children’s Charity we’re passionate about giving kids who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs a fair go. We don’t think any child should fall through the gaps. Not the three kids in every classroom who are living in poverty. And not the 10,000 kids with a disability who are missing out on NDIS support. We provide practical support when they need it most, and a helping hand to reach their full potential. We support kids and families in four key ways – Grants, programs, scholarships and kids experiences.

In 2019 fiscal year Variety NSW/ACT:

• Directly impacted the lives of 30,392 kids
• Granted $3.73m worth of equipment, experiences & programs to kids in need
• Supported kids with 200 different conditions

Variety has been operating in Newcastle and the Hunter for over 25 years and during this time has contributed more than $10 million in equipment, grants and support to local children and schools supporting children with special needs.
