Recycle Mobility
Our Recycle Mobility Programme is a unique idea that focuses on promoting access to special adaptive trikes to children who cannot use conventional bicycles.
This initiative offers a fun way to exercise and offers inclusion & independence to children of all abilities. Once the child outgrows their trike it is then upcycl– making this Programme sustainable and environmentally friendly too!
Sports Inclusion
Everyone knows the benefits and positive impact that sports activities can have for children with additional needs, that it why Variety Ireland just love helping children feel included both on and off the pitch.
Sport and exercise can have such huge physical & mental benefits for a child who has additional needs, so we encourage children to take part in activities if possible, no matter what their ability.
Environmental Awareness
We at Variety Ireland believe it is the responsibility of each and every one of us to protect and enhance our land and waters on which all life depends.
That is why, as a ‘charity with a conscience’, we strive to carry out all our work in an ethical manner. Trikes from our Recycle Mobility Programme receive a second life, and we run various tree planting projects to help offset our carbon footprint.

How We Can Help
We help families, charities & communities all across Ireland
Here at Variety Ireland, we believe that no child should ever feel excluded or unequal to their peers. We aim to help those children who due to either mobility, or even financial problems may not get to enjoy as many different experiences as other children.
We help children aged from 0-18 years, from across the disability spectrum, from all across the 32 counties of Ireland!
