WE BELIEVE IN INCLUSION
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.
How It Works
WHO CAN APPLY?
Families, institutions and registered charities can all apply to Variety Ireland for assistance. We can help with providing various different tangible items, medical aids and even therapies up to the value of €1,500* for children aged from 0-18 years.
We will also consider co-funding other applications that may be above this value.
WHAT WE CAN DO
Variety Ireland can assist in the provision of many different things including mobility aids such as wheelchairs, specialised trikes and special needs car seats for children. We can also assist in providing other items such as educational aids, medical devices and even specialised therapies such as physical /occupational/ speech.
HOW TO APPLY
Begin your application by simply filling out the form below. We will reply to your request within 28 days. You will then be required to complete an official application form and provide us with supplier quotations, a referral from a medical professional/ therapist/teacher and also sign a media release for photo and testimonial use.
*As an Irish charity that doesn’t receive regular state funding, it is important that we are able to help as many children or groups that we can. This is why we rigorously vet all applications for people looking for help with maximum funding available to successful applicants capped at €1500

These are the documents that will be required to accompany your application for assistance to Variety Ireland.

QUOTATIONS
We require official quotations from reputable suppliers for any items or services you are seeking assistance with. You will need to forward these quotations at the time of your application.

As we rely on donations and sponsors to fund our projects, this not only provides us with transparency, but is also a great way to say thank you to those who have helped and encourage any future support for even more children!
