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 believe in Inclusion
WHO CAN APPLY?
Families, institutions and registered charities can all apply to Variety Ireland for assistance. We can help with co-funding specialised mobility trikes or educational devices for children aged from 0-18 years. We are a national charity, so anyone based within the 32 counties of Ireland can apply!
WHAT WE CAN DO
Variety Ireland can assist in the provision of specialised mobility trikes through our Recycle Mobility Programme and also educational devices through our Heart of Learning Programme. Both programmes use upcycled items where possible, which are then later recycled or upcycled once more!
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 quotations, a referral from a medical professional/ therapist/teacher and also sign a media release*.
*As an Irish charity that doesn’t receive regular operational 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 co-funding and ask for testimonials and photos. 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!
Choosing a Mobility Trike or Transporter
Choosing what type of mobility equipment best suits your child can seem overwhelming, as there are so many options available.
As every child is unique, so too are their requirements. To help you choose what may suits your child best, we have put together a short guide as to what to look out for when choosing a trike or transporter.
