We are dedicated to helping deserving and special needs children in Jersey. Since our inauguration in 1968, Variety - the Children’s Charity of Jersey - Tent 52 have raised millions of pounds.
Variety, the Children’s Charity of Jersey aims to ensure that all disadvantaged and special needs children have the same opportunities in life.
Almost on a daily basis, Variety - the Children’s Charity of Jersey receives requests from schools, health visitors, social workers, occupational therapists and other organisations who have direct dealings with families. These requests are for help with food, shoes, clothing, baby equipment and other basic needs. Variety also receives requests to provide specialist equipment for disabled children such as wheelchairs, walkers, electronic beds and supportive buggies.
All of these requests are for children from low income families and most often single parent families. Variety pay towards educational school trips, mostly to France for children whose parents cannot afford it, ensuring no child in the class is left behind. Variety's aim is to ensure that as far as possible all children have equal opportunities. Variety hold Summer and Christmas parties for children with special needs, their parents and siblings.
