The Variety Club provides funding towards wheelchairs (electric, manual and sports), buggies, trikes and bikes.
It supports disadvantaged and disabled children and young people up to 19 years old who live in the UK.

The Variety Club also offer other support to children and their families to improve help their daily lives.
Well Child helps children aged 1-18 years with serious illness and life threatening conditions across the UK.
Their Helping Hands scheme uses volunteers for hands-on projects to benefit the child and their family. This may include tasks such as decorating the child's room or adapting the garden.
To apply contact the charity direct or complete the on-line application form.
In addition, they have an expanding programme of Well Child Nurses across the UK to support families with the care of their sick child.
Whizz Kidz helps provide mobility equipment to disabled children and young people up to 18 years old.
The child must have a permanent condition and the equipment they require must not be available through the NHS.
To apply either download an application pack from their website or telephone 0845 052 1231. A therapist report will be required.
Applications may take some time as each child is assessed according to their need. You will informed how long you will be expected to wait but even high priority cases may take 8 months.
The wait is worthwhile as the organisation uses their own Occupational Therapists to make a detailed assessment of your child's immediate and future mobility needs.
