Variety Club - The Children's Charity

Variety Club has been donating wheelchairs since 1988, improving over 3,000 disabled children’s lives through increased mobility. We provide buggies, trikes, manual wheelchairs with lightweight frames that are much easier for a child to use than standard chairs and electrically powered wheelchairs that use the latest technology to make day-to-day life a little simpler.

The Variety Club also assists with sports wheelchairs so that a child’s sporting ambitions may be fulfilled.
