Individuals
Each week over 50 appeals arrive in the Variety Club office from individuals desperate to maintain and improve the services and quality of life they provide for children. Among other things, consideration is given to requests from schools, registered charities, hospitals and hospices as well as from medical and other health care professionals and parents making applications on behalf of individual children.
In general, funding is given to specific items of equipment that are for the direct use of sick, disabled or disadvantaged children. These include sensory room equipment, communicators, toys and play equipment, computers, electric beds and specialised bath equipment.
Variety's Appeals Committee, which includes specialist advisers in medicine, physiotherapy and building work, meets regularly to consider a wide range of requests. Each application is investigated thoroughly and considered on its individual merits.
