Funding The charity considers funding on an individual basis. However, it is not uncommon for wheelchairs in excess of £10,000 to be provided. The Variety Club may also supply coaches costing upwards of £20,000.
Funder The Variety Club Children's Charity was formed in 1949. Its main purpose is to support sick, disabled and disadvantaged children throughout the UK through the donation of equipment.
Aim The charity provides support to many schools and organisations by providing Sunshine coaches. Motorised wheelchairs are also available through the charity's Easy Riders Scheme as are outings to exciting places through the Variety at Work programme. And equipment for children's hospitals and individual items for children and/or organisations is on offer. The charity welcomes enquiries if applicants are unsure that what they need is available.
