How We Help Children in South Australia

At Variety SA we make sure children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disability can access the care and opportunities they deserve.

Every journey is different and so is how we help children.

How we help children starts with understanding what they need to participate, belong and thrive. From funding essential equipment to opening doors in education, sport and the arts, our grants and programs give children the freedom to move, learn and dream big, no matter their circumstances.

Individual Grants

We support children and families facing challenges by providing practical equipment and resources that make everyday life easier. This may include mobility equipment, communication devices, learning aids, technology and other supports that help kids live, learn and play more independently.

Scholarships

Variety Heart Scholarships help children and young people aged 8–17 follow their dreams in sport or the arts. We support kids living with disability, chronic illness, financial hardship or in regional areas by helping cover the costs that might otherwise stand in the way.

The Variety Heart Scholarship Program is proudly supported by the Grahame Mapp Family Foundation

Community Grants

We support schools, not-for-profits and community groups that work with kids in need. Our grants help fund equipment, technology, educational resources and other tools that make programs more inclusive and accessible for the children they support.

Experiences

Variety Kids’ Experiences give children facing disability, disadvantage or hardship the chance to enjoy special activities and events they may not otherwise have access to — creating moments of fun, connection and unforgettable memories.

The Variety Difference

While the individual programs we provide may not be unique, the breadth of our support for children is unmatched.
We understand that no two children’s situations are the same. That’s why we’ve created a wide range of programs designed to meet every aspect of a child’s journey, addressing both immediate and long-term needs.
