Variety - the Children's Charity is a national not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to help and empower Australian children who are sick, disadvantaged or who have special needs, to live, laugh and learn. Variety ‘fills the gaps’ that government or other organisations cannot, providing practical and tangible assistance to individuals, families, schools and other children’s organisations who often have nowhere else to turn. We do this by supporting children and families with practical equipment, programs and experiences, helping children in need to overcome whatever obstacles they face.
