Over 600,000 children with disabilities are living in poverty in the UK today. We provide practical support that makes an immediate difference to disabled and disadvantaged children, supporting children to reach their full potential.

The Variety Impact Ecosystem consists of four programmes that help thousands of children everyday. We provide referral pathways, so children can receive practical support that has the power to transform their lives.

How do we support disabled and disadvantaged children and young people?

Our work helps children and young people overcome the barriers of disability and disadvantage to reach their full potential.

On average, a family with a disabled child has to pay an extra £581 per month to have the same standard of living as a family without a disabled child. We aim to address the relationship between disability and poverty.

Our vision

Every child should receive the support they need to reach their full potential.

Our mission

We deliver and fund life-changing practical support to disabled and disadvantaged children and young people across the U.K.

Our values

Our values form the foundation of everything we do in our mission to support our children and young people.

Compassion: We believe every child should have the opportunity to live, laugh, learn, and experience life to the fullest. Our commitment to compassionate service drives us to take meaningful action that creates real change in children’s lives.

Courage: We fearlessly uphold our belief that every child has the right to develop their full potential and are committed to challenging the inequality, inequity and prejudice against children wherever we find it.  

Dignity: We embrace and celebrate the unique potential of every child, regardless of their abilities or circumstances. We foster an environment of dignity, understanding, and acceptance that empowers children and their families.

Commitment: We are committed to seeking creative solutions and adapt our approaches to meet the evolving needs of the children we serve. Our innovative spirit is guided by our commitment to delivering meaningful, life-changing support.

Collaboration: We believe in the power of partnership and work closely with families, welfare professionals, schools, and community organisations to deliver our support where it’s needed.

Trust: We uphold the highest standards of integrity in our operations, ensuring that our resources are used effectively and efficiently. We maintain open communication with our stakeholders and honour the trust placed in us.

Excellence: We strive for excellence in everything we do, from our programmes and services to our interactions with children, families, and stakeholders. We measure our success by the positive differences we make in children’s lives.

Empowerment: We are dedicated to providing children with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to overcome challenges and achieve their dreams. We believe in empowering children to reach their full potential.

These values guide our decisions, shape our culture, and inspire our commitment to creating a world where every child can flourish, regardless of their challenges. Our values represent not just what we believe, but how we act in delivering our mission to improve young lives everyday.
