Help a child get their first bike before 30 June
For families doing it tough, a bike can be out of reach. Your gift today can help a child get their first bike, ride with friends and feel included.
Do you remember your first bike?
The freedom.
The excitement.
The pride of riding on your own.
Every child deserves that chance.
But for many children across Victoria, a bike, helmet and lock are more than their family can manage right now.
That is where you can help.
Variety Bikes for Kids gives children the chance to experience confidence, freedom and belonging through something many of us take for granted: a bike of their own.
Please make your gift before 30 June to help a child get their first bike.
Gifts of $2 or more are tax-deductible and a tax receipt will be emailed automatically.
Please act before 30 June to help a child get their first bike.

The Thompson children just wanted the chance to join in
Every afternoon, the street outside the Thompson family home fills with the sound of neighbourhood kids riding past.
For a long time, the Thompson children could only watch.
They watched their friends ride past.
They watched neighbourhood kids head off together after school.
And sometimes they would ask:
Can we ride too?
It is such an ordinary part of childhood.
A bike.
A ride with friends.
A chance to keep up and be part of things.
But for families already doing it tough, that simple joy can be out of reach.
Now, thanks to generous supporters like you, the Thompson children each have a bike.
Now they can ride.
Now they can join in.
Now they can be part of something they once missed out on.

Thank you so much
Your donation supports the cost of a bike package, including safety gear, delivery, and program support. Each year, Variety grants over 300 bikes, helmets, and locks to children who need them most.
If the Bikes for Kids program raises more than is needed to meet current demand, excess funds will be directed to other individual grants that support children living with disability, illness, or disadvantage. This may include life-changing equipment such as communication devices for non-verbal children or wheelchairs for kids with mobility challenges.
Special thanks
