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.

Support for children
We award grants to support children and young people under the age of 19 who have a recognised disability or long-term health condition.
On average, a family with a disabled child has to pay an extra £581 per month to have the same standard living as one without. We’re addressing the link between disability and poverty.
