Something special of their own.
A simple present. A moment to remember.
Last Christmas, Cate, Variety’s Kids Support Coordinator, watched children receive soft toys at the Variety Kids Christmas Party.
“There were squeals of delight. Children wrapped their arms around their new toys and cuddled them close. Everywhere I looked, children were holding their new toys tightly. I will never forget the joy on their faces.”
Variety Kids Support Coordinator
Cate helps choose a thoughtful range of presents for children at different ages and stages of childhood. Your gift can help put those presents into children’s hands.
How your gift helps
Some wishes are for Christmas Day. Others can open up the year ahead.
A soft toy for comfort and cuddles. A game for play and time together. Noise-reducing headphones to make busy places more comfortable.
Your gift could also help provide equipment for music, art or sport, or contribute towards a tablet for learning, play or communication.
Christmas presents reach children through the Variety Kids Christmas Party and through families, schools and community organisations. Larger items are supported through other Variety programs and may be provided after Christmas.
Seeing my kids’ faces on Christmas Day and being able to provide them with such beautiful gifts that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford made my year!
