Variety at Work

Do you remember your first funfair ride? First pantomime? First time you saw the sea? Over the last 40 years, Variety at Work has been responsible for thousands of “firsts” like this. It has been an immense privilege to light up the lives of children who may have very few other chances to discover what fun the world can be, and how many possibilities it offers.

Expanding children’s horizons is a vital part of their education, and we work with teachers and carers to make sure the Variety at Work events emphasise learning through fun. Working in partnership with hundreds of visitor attractions, companies and private supporters, and with the unflagging support of our volunteers, we have helped to organise unforgettable days out for over 600,000 children, throughout the country.

Here’s a taste of the range of events we offer:

• Weekly educational tours including Tower of London, Museum of Childhood and Duxford Imperial War Museum
• Armed Forces, Police and Fire Brigade visits including Air Traffic Control, Police Dog Section and Red Arrows displays
• Pets as Therapy visits

Do you have the facilities or venue to offer Variety Club children a special day out? Please call Sue Hincks 0207 428 8100 to discuss possible options. Who knows your call may be the start of a wonderful working relationship between Variety Club and your organisation!
